Charles and I have tried on many occasions to come up with a solution for a middle ground between Nickies and cast iron cylinders.
Fact is anything we would develop that would be effective would end up costing similar to the price of Nickies. I have used more Nickies than anyone in the world, including the second set of TIV cylinders ever made as well as the very first set of TI cylinders and the very first set of Pinzgauer Nickies. we have spent hours and days testing expansion rates, materials, ring gaps, running clearances and wear. Call the MFR of the Chinese cylinders and ask for ANY comparative data and see what they tell you. Nickies allow us to do things that would be otherwise impossible and that is worth more to TIV engine development than anything else on planet earth to us. Try running less than one thousandth of piston/cylinder clearance and as little as .003 ring end gap with any other cylinder successfully, furthermore try running an engine at 7,000 RPM off and on for hours at a time and never have it put a drop of oil into the breather box with any other cylinder. its not happening- period. All my mega builds get Nickies, if the price doubled on them tomorrow you would still be getting your money's worth. |
