What are your thoughts on liners.
I am planning on running around 500 BHP and looking at the bottom end to cope with the power.
I am sure if I could find a good 200 block it would cope, but they are few and far between.
Is anyone running on liners are they " once fitted forget ".
I have heard of Nikasil or Steel liners also what's peoples thoughts on both.
Cheers
Spun grey iron liners are ok up to 500hp as long as spec ok, Ductil Iron liners are good for much more again depending on spec and these are what I mostly use,
Steel needs to be nicasil coated and ultimatly the strongest but sizing of pistons is much harder and if you damage coating the liner is scrap.
