m8,
i had this discussion today with mike r.... unless going 500+ hp theres no sense in
even thinking about liners. if liners than surely nikasil ones cause their material
(nikkel, cadmium and silicium mix) has far better properties than using the cast
steel block to run pistons in and additinally prevents the block from cracking.

If you read in the ford mag about jenspeed, he also recommends nikasil liners for 500+hp.

cheers,
michael
