As I recall from back in the day, Honda used steel liners & chrome rings, then they used chrome bores with non-chrome rings.
Then some guys  mixed parts from models putting the chrome rings in chrome bores which was instant seizure.

Brads question is of course different, of which I can't answer posatively

 Brad tis very simple

Rings suitable for iron liners are suitable for Nikasil and vice versa.

Chrome bore MUST have the compatable chrome ring.Whether the ring is actualy chrome or chrome plated makes no difference the rings are NOT compatable with iron or Nikasil bores.

Download a Wiseco manual it will explain in detail there.

and what's the ballpark figure on Nikasiling anyway?  I replaced the sleeve in my 360 with an LA Sleeve for around $400 - which also allows me to do the old bore job if I can ever wear it out!!!! ;D

Hi Guys,

We have 1, Yes only one company in the whole South Africa that does Nikasol Plating

Why??? - Cause all the chaps that have tried do not last

The amount for a sleeve is R1450 ZAR (A$ 175)

So if you keen, get the shipping costs to me and find out if it is viable and will always assist in helping other riders

Only ever had one VERY minor glitch with Electrosil (which was rectiied immediately by them).... Nothing good to say about the mob in Qld though - caveat emptor!

I have had a few cylinders done by Electrosil and my 500 cylinder cost about $650, from memory my 250 cylinder was about $500 with a deep gouge repaired. No problems and mine have come back sweet
