Saw a thread on the Pelican site showing a set of delaminated Nikasil cylinders. After cleaning up mine I see a few pinpricks. Cylinder 5 is by far the worst offender with what looks not so good to me. Would value response from those who know. I recognize that no 914 came equipped with them.
Longer view  Closer up  Would you be worried? Reusable? Thanks!! |

I just had my brothers 3.0 cylinders redone in Nikasil. Waited 5 weeks for them to come back to only find one cylinder had a deep pit in it. I'm still waiting for a call back but I know with the Holidays most places shut down until the new year.
If you do send them out take good pics of the cylinders and note any issues on them. The cylinders where real smooth when I sent them in so my issue is with the process/final inspection at the shops end. I got the same cylinders back that I sent in but some places do a swap for your cores. |
