>hello,
>the cylinder block on my 928 has cracks at the top of 2 cyliders due to 
>overheating and possible hydraulic pressuring from water being in the 
>cylinder.
>
>i can find a good welder who can weld repair the cracks but i can't find 
>anyone to nicasil the cylinder walls after the repair is done.
>
>it sems that there are some nicasil coaters out there but they are only 
>able to handle small motorcycle cylinders and none of them that i've 
>contacted can handle a V8 sized block.
>
>i've been told that Mahle who do the OEM coating for porsche are not 
>interested in doing repair work and they refuse to accept repair work.
>
>i'd be grateful if anyone can tell me of a nicasil coater that they have 
>had a good job from.
>
>alternatively, if anyone has a block or an engine in good condition for a 
>1994 GTS 5.4 litre 32 valve that they could sell me i'd be interested in 
>discussing that too.
>
>i've considered sleeving the bores but i prefer to try and bring it up to 
>the original specs before resorting to that method.
>
>any suggestions would be gratefully received.
>regards,
