I have replaced a few sets of QSC nikasil cylinders with Nickies in the last year and a half- the worst was a 2.4->2.5 85mm 911 set and the cylinder skirts were cracked or broke off while the engine was being broken in on the dyno. Some of the others you could peel the nikasil off the bores with your nails. Most just don't measure out. That's why they are so heavily discounted. They don't know what to do with all those glorious paperweights.

I posted quite some time ago that they called me and were trying to get technical information out of me on metallurgy and the plating process. I told them why not ask their own engineers since they were already selling aluminum nikasil cylinders.

The original post re: this is on Jake's forum.
