[QUOTE="Masterphil, post: 970831, member: 55234"] Has anyone ever had a standard Iron lined cylinder, such as found on older dirtbikes and CR500's, plated? Would there be any negative effects such as heat transfer or different expansion rates between having the plating on an iorn cyl. vs aluminum like modern cyl's are constructed? What I was thinking was if I had a CR500, when it was time for the first overbore, just bore it out 2mm over and get the cyl plated and ported. Since the top end interval for a CR500 is ridiculously long anyway, this would effectively allow the cyl to last forever as long as there was no damage to the plating. BTW, a CR500 with 2mm overbore would be 513cc. If this is possible, would the frictional advantage of using a plated cyl. free up any measurable ammount of power? Another question that really dosen't belong in this thread, but, If you were to port/head mod two different engines for the same rider, except one for pump gas and one for race fuel, would there be changes to the cyl or only the head. I guess what I am asking is would the porting specs for the cyl be the same reguardless of fuel type used. Eric, If you'd like to E-mail me with any specific pricing on this: [email="masterphil@dirtrider.net"]masterphil@dirtrider.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
