[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1361833, member: 104942"] Nikasil is the "normal" high performance coating for aluminum unsleved cylinders these days... Definitely a "send it out" job, lots of people do it. Eric seems to have done a good job on my 200 big bore. There was a minor miscommunication and I thought he had told me it was "ready to bolt on", and it turns out the nuts were not torqued and the head gasket wasn't installed, but thats no big deal, I should have double checked before putting it together. I also sent it to him with a stripped 5mm hole... and it came back the same way. Again, perfectly reasonable, but if he had a heli coil set laying around and could have spent the two minutes and given up the 50 cent part to install it, I would have felt even better about dropping $500. But thats all stupid stuff, and more my fault then anyone elses. The work seems to be top shelf and the motor is working great. I would definitely recommend him. He was very patient with my questions and took a lot of time to educate me about what my options were and why he suggested the things he did. This all may be premature though... somebody should pop off that cylinder (you can leave the head bolted on to it) and see how the piston and jug look. If the cylinder is perfect, then maybe it's not such a bad idea to just replace the piston and ride it another season or two before dropping big $$ on it. Or maybe the cylinder is already damaged, and you have no choice but a bore and plate. [/QUOTE]
