Niksail plating

[rustbucket]

I was searching around the net, and I found several sites that advertise Niksail plating. Apparently, alot of small engines run niksail plated parts (atv's, dirt bikes, etc..). What caught my attention was the price. It is extremely cheap. Now I know it's not the same as nickies, but would there be any benefit to having this done to a T1 or T4 engine? The three guys I talked to quoted no more than $350 for a block and 4 cylinders. It piqued my curiousity at best.

Opinions? Charles, care to weigh in.

Not looking to downplay the value of nickies BTW, I know they are a completely different animal. Just your opinions on this type of plating and the benefits of it.
