Niksail plating

[Massive Type IV]

Most motorcycles that use it, as well as snowmobiles are two strokes and have lubricated fuels.

Charles and the Nickies designers went through hell finding the right people to plate the Nickies cylinders. I was always the guy that did the test work and I must say that some companies absolutely sucked in the early days of Nickies development.

If its cheap, there is a reason! If you plate a cast iron cylinder or any time you use a Nikisil the ring properties need to change and so do the running clearances of the piston/cylinder.

There is way more to it that having them plated, throwing some rings on and driving... Its a severe learning curve that can be very expensive.

BTW, what on the "Block" were you going to plate?????
