More economical option to Nickies sleeving. Suffer from bore scoring or cracking so they can safely be direct plated as a Like the 2.7 engine found in base Boxster and Cayman models don't typically Mahle's Nikasil, has provided superior performanceįor decades that is proven and trusted worldwide. Issues with Lokasil and Alusil engine blocks featuring a super hard, durable,Īnd low friction wear surface similar to Nikasil. Nickies NSC (nickel silicon carbide) plated cylinder sleeves To be sleeved, there is also the issue of other known modes of failure associated with Lokasil and Alusil engine blocks including, but not limited to d-chunk, cracking, andīore scoring. If the bores do happen to be in spec and don't need Porsche engine without properly addressing known cylinder issues is a recipe for To be overhauled a second time due to a repeated failure. We see this time and timeĪgain with engines already having been rebuilt once using steel sleeves needing Subsequent engine failures on the other cylinders. Sleeve single cylinders or one half of the engine, leaving the door open to What is even worse is that some builders will Re-ringing an engine with Lokasil or Alusilīores without properly inspecting and if required, reconditioning the bores,

Even if theīores are round and in spec, surface finishes critical for proper ringīreak-in and longevity may not be. To measure the bores for ovality and taper, as specified by Porsche. What's worse is that most shops don't have a profilometer or precision measurement devices Sadly, many engine builders re-ring these modern engines after only doing a visual inspection of cylinder bores, rather than measuring the cylinders for ovality, taper, and surface finish. Modern Porsche engines with Lokasil and Alusil bores don't share this heritage. The aircooled Mezger engine is highly regarded asīeing bulletproof and in stock form, the original Nikasil cylinders often couldīe reused during a rebuild simply by installing new piston rings.
