[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 271215, member: 20652"] You can have the cast iron sleeve plated but as far as I know there is only one place doing it now (sorry I can’t recall who it is, maybe some one will post it). It is a more difficult process than re-plating aluminum I [I]assume[/I] it is more expensive. As far as what to do with your 500, I’d be more inclined to re-sleeve it. A 500 doesn’t see nearly as much wear as a 125 or 250 so durability of the iron sleeve isn’t as much of an issue. Look at it this way, you got 14 years of service from the original bore on your ’88. Granted a nicasil plated bore will last longer but is it worth the extra expense? If it was a cylinder that was originally plated I would , under all circumstances, have it re-plated. The heat transfer and durability properties are far superior to a cast iron sleeve. [/QUOTE]
