Cylinder replating?
Posted: January 7th, 2008, 6:12 pm
I'm looking to the get cylinder re-plated on my 250 and I'm throwing around the idea of doing one of my 500 cylinders that is on the last bore. Anyone have any recommendations for me? Does GSS or Loomis do any plating or have someone specific that they work with?
I've heard a lot about NI-COM being better than nikasil if your going to have one re-done. My 250 cylinder was on the verge of the service limit the last time that I rebuilt it so I'm sending it some where for sure. The 500 has about 30 hrs on it but I'm curious how soon I should send it off to avoid it being too worn to coat. Also who would you recommend for porting on the 250 cylinder?
