Wondering if anyone (other than Brer, who is selling these kits) has tried the QSC 96mm cast Piston & Cylinder kits. Have read some bad stuff about QSC's cheap Nikasil knockoffs, but nothing about the cast sets.

If I did have to tell someone to use a cast iron cylinder, I would almost always tell them to take an old german cylinder, have it bored out and honed to a set of KB pistons. It's proven and quality, on a budget. Have everything cryo'ed even for a few more $$$ as cheap insurance. Another thing I have done is have had the cylinders all surface ground to the same height groups, allowing you to mix and match cylinders from different groups.
I even take old aluminum 356 cylinders and strip and re-plate them, as "budget" cylinders. There is nothing like an old german casting. |
