Nicisil Cylinders

[Speakrdude]

Does anyone know which years and or models Tigershark used Nicisil plateing on their cylinder's? I have a 94 Daytona (639cc) That need a bore job. Don't know if it has or not.

not on that model.
95 Daytona's
all 900, 1000,1100

1995 Daytona 640's had Nicasil plating?
i bought a blown one and it has .040 wisecos in it, Are you even supposed to bore this type of cylinder?

You can, just get a piston kit from here and you will be ready to go.

The Nicasil coating is extremely thin so I've heard. If you bore it, then it wouldn't be Nicasil anymore. I guess it'd still work, but your cylinders would take the abuse and not your pistons, right???

That makes absolutely no sense.

Only Tigershark Triples have Nicasil coated cylinders.

Not true do some more research. Some of the Daytona models had plated cylinders for the factory.
I am sure the 95' Baracuda / Daytona's did but the 96 ' up 770's or the 93,94,95 Montegos did not.

[Technical Support]

That would be a new one to me...can't say I've seen any cores in with it.

You can bore past the nicasil lining, but then you MUST have a cast iron sleeve installed (like what LA Sleeve does). This is almost as expensive as getting the cylinder replated...the only difference is you can bore the cast iron sleeve later (provided someone makes a piston of that size)

The SBT 640 pistons work fine.
