mahles run into some serious $ when you get into the 3.2+ size. Anyone try the replated cylinders from ebs or others? Are they a long term reliable solution for a street car, or is it better to bite the bullet and sink 3.5k+ for the real deal? TIA

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) Charles can you tell me if you "cryro" a cylinder does it change the hardneess (Rockwell scale) of the metal at all?
Can a cylinder be retreated(heat treated) after it have been thermal cycled so may times- then replated? TIA, Food for thought for those of us intrested in metalurgy in motors. Kevin |
