[V8] Nikasil coating for cyl walls

[Ron Wainwright]

I love to take everything into account Scott..;-)
 But I like this idea. Sleeving is/would just be
covering up a problem to a very feasable solution.

 For many years I thought that our lower ends couldn't
be rebuilt. But with Co's like 034ms were they have
solutions for us I think that it would only be the
best solution to the age ol folk lore that our blocks
can't be brought back to life.

 I plan on getting the stock pistons shaved a bit to
get the compression to twin turbo one of my 3.6
motors. I would like to..while the pistons & rods
would be out....to get the rest of the parts to do the
lower end. It would basically be a new factory block!
I wouldn't be thinking the whole time that I have a
bandaid (sleeves)

 But I all so posted the link cause I may just be the
new proud owner of a early 80's 928..whoo hooo

 Ron mit gone off the deep end MUWAHAHAHAHA
