I think Chris is right, the 103's just about touch the studs and yours appear to have some room.
I have a set on my motor, but it is not something I could take a picture of at this point.

Maybe
McMark or Mark Henry could show you.....they both have/had 103 mm cylinders.

Good spotting,no machining gone on there,just plain old AA 96mm kit,most likely has the original Chinese rings also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

I use Loctite sealer around cylinder bases never had an issue,this is case/component sealer,never saw RTV in the label,nevermind each to their own,we all know what works for us.

Really hope the owner can sort this with the seller,fraud involved here ...no question.

This is breaking my heart. Not Nickies and now not even the right size. Then I probably won't have the 'custom' Camshaft and Crankshaft with 'performance rockers and lifters either.

It is the policy of this community not to defame its members. The seller is part of the 914world community. So... Lets leave it with that. Maybe I can report in a few months that justice has taking place.

Thank you all, for your support.

Nickies would be silver aluminum, a magnet will not stick to them, they would also have ARP head studs with 12 point nuts.

This pic will give you an idea how much material is left when you machine for the 103 register.

Best of luck, if it really is that craigslist person I think it is, I have doubts it'll be handled very well, hopefully I'm wrong.

Point is I've never seen a failure.
It was how Gene Berg did it, so that's good enough for me.

Besides every builder has their favorites, some like curil-T, I've tried and think it's garbage. I have a couple unopened tubes if anyone wants it.
Three bond I like, but quit using teflon dope on the PR seals, because I could see it when I cut open filters, now I use dow 55 which is way better, etc.


The 2056 I picked up from Bruce, allegedly assembled by EMW had a good amount of orange RTV as well, I havent managed to blow the thing up yet and not for lack of trying. Seems you are not the only one that uses it with success.

I'm sorry of your misfortune. Buying an item represented one way and then receiving another would (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) a lot of people. If you can pm me the individual involved so I can avoid this person's future f/s posting.
Thanks

Late to the party. You can see the parting line that is visible running down the cyl fins. That's where the 2 halves of the mold came together when they were cast.

I commend you for taking the high road, but I call bullshit on this one. It's not your fault you were sold something that you did not receive. And the fact that the car damn near burned down says a lot about the seller. We don't defame people here, but we DO call someone out when they've done something wrong (ask me how I know). Additionally, we look out for one another. If you decide to pursue recourse with this person, I'm sure folks here are in your corner.

Those are Chinese, cast iron clunkers... Nothing Nickies about those. Go slap the seller.

Thank you for the support. I feel like I bought a junk car, but received a container load of new friends.

The seller "Glenn Wright", operating as NineOneFourRacing out of Compton CA. Will be taken to court. I just received confirmation from LN-Engineering that these are indeed NOT Nickies. Coming from the Engineers themselves, the judge should side with me (or should I say US?).

Thank you Mark.

Of note is how close the studs are to the actual cylinder.
You can see they just about touch.
On your picture there is quite a bit of space between the stud and cylinder.

And of course, the rtv is another clue.

Maybe that's the engine that was supposed to go in your car...

Although I'm not savvy enough to be able to tell if those are Nickies or not (don't look like it)

Maybe he'll want to avoid court and will swap motors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Be sure to screenshot the Craigslist ad before it is taken down... Evidence.
