What kind of Cylinders are these?, I bought a 914 with Nickies, but not sure what I received. Options

[HansJan]

The 1972 914 I bought is supposed to have 103mm Nickies (by LN-Engineering) with JE-forged pistons.

The car caught on-fire, so I had to remove the engine. After doing so I find that the cylinders are magnetic. Nickies are made from Aluminum, so this is suspicious.

Is any of you able to recognize the make of the Cylinders in the below pictures. There is one picture with some marking on it. I do not want to disassemble the engine any further then needed.

I only own this car for two weeks now, but going up a very steep learning-curve. very soon I will be able to help others. But for now I'm only asking questions.

Br,

@Mark: So did the guy that rebuilt that engine...
Many wrongs don't make it right.
And if you want bravery stories, I've rebuilt turboprop engines. How many of those did you rebuilt?
The VW engines are like tractor engines. They will take a lot of abuse before they fail.
But back to the point, RTV on the registers is wrong. I'm trying to help here not to show off the size of my balls.

This reminds me why I rarely offer any engine rebuild advice, not worth the bother, too many armchair experts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Back to the sandbox where everyone is an asshole, but no one seems to be butthurt about it.

Or is it because you don't find a Gene Berg answer for every question?
Copying is easy. Understanding why is a different story.

Valy I apologize, I didn't realize I was arguing with a 14 year old High School girl.
