No, never did I say or claim that. Everyone here knows that. We're very open with the problems we have had over the years. We've had a few issues over the years, but in almost every case that I am aware of we were trying to fit another manufacturer's existing pistons provided by the customer to the cylinder where we don't have control over the existing ring configuration, hence trying to find rings that *should work*. I can count every set of Nickies that have come back in 5 years for replating for one reason or another on one hand, and that's including every line of cylinders.
I can say with 100% certainty that if the customer has a problem and he lets us know about the problem, we will work at it until we have a solution and get it fixed, no questions asked. That's what the lifetime warranty is for, since most any issue will boil down to plating, and that's why I use a plater who backs their work with that lifetime warranty. Do you have a particular person you are referring to. Unless you put a name to the set, it's heresay and conjecture. You also have claimed to have used and dynoed a set of Nickies- whose? I know where most every set of Nickies I have ever made has ended up and who owns them. If you sell enough cylinders to a vast number of customers in a vast number of configurations, you will eventually have isolated problems. The difference is in how you handle them and what you learn and implement from them. |
