    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Nikacil Plating

I was wondering if anyone has experience with nikicil plating in a gs or similar engine. I read it reduces wear by up to 20%
 
As far as I know Nikasil plating is only done on cylinders that don't use liners. It goes right over the bare aluminum cylinder walls. It's not cheap either, I saw a quote of right at $300 to do one 65cc cylinder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikasil

The one we use here at our shop is Millennium Technologies. Tel 920-893-5595, Their web address is mt-llc.com. They can do a single cylinder bike for around $200.00. We have had great success with this company doing our Mx race bikes or high end Ducati.
 
In order to do it, you would need to make aluminum liners for the block so that you had the spigots sticking out of the bottom.

The billet pro mod blocks are made that way. They run about $1600 plated and sized.
