How can you tell if a cylinder is nikasil?
Hey guys,
Is there a way to tell my 3.0 Sc cylinders are nikasil or alusil by visual?, or would I have to take them to a shop for that information?. Andy

Just lick the inside. If it tastes metallic it is one of the two. If it tastes like oil shame on you for actually licking the inside of a used cylinder.

I am done with licking things. The last time I licked something, it taste like rotten fish and blue cheese with the consistency of cottage cheese

We broke thread rules when we starting in goofing around before answering the question. Charlie comes through with content.
Charlie, what is with the red X?

Charlie sell his car?
Andy, btw, My Alusils are stamped on the bottom of the barrell just next to the case. KS is the manf. What are you thinking about? If you need I have the tools to measure the pisons and cylinders to see if they are still within specifications. Oh yea, I have a spec book too!
