[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 16229929, member: 32337"] porsche started using nikasil on their road race cars way back in the 70s. Other car and bike manufacturers started adopting it slowly over time. It's only about .01" thick and has a rockwell hardness (C scale) of 72-80. Slightly different than plasma spray deposit that ford uses but same concept. Neither are practical to rework unless you have a very precise hone process. There isn't a single commercial engine, marine, genset, off highway equipment or medium duty truck application that uses plated cylinders. All these engines use either iron, compacted graphite blocks and in rare cases of AL blocks there is always a steel/iron sleeve. [/QUOTE]
