so, after seeing how much larger the OD on the 103mm Nickies are than on my 94mm Nickies I got to thinking that for a turbo/supercharger application, one could make an aluminum ring to slide over the cylinder to help with sealing....a taper or some other type of feature could be easily added to the new "ring"

thoughts??

(picture is of a /6 2.0 cylinder that I reversed engineered)

On the 930 and 935 they added a "flame ring" or nirosist ring to help seal the cylinders. A groove was cut in to the head, and into the cylinder, and a metal (nickel i think) ring was cut that was an interference fit into the groove. On the 962's they went one better and welded the head to the cylinder.

We run our 3.8 at 1.4bar without nirosist rings, they are however going to be installed next time the top end is apart.
