Andy,
Holy smokes! Wait a second. Did you get a Nikasil kit or just the
cylinders? I remember that Nikasil were set up not to hone. I was told
pistons should be matched to cylinders. Also, tell me to shut up if you
know this but I assembled my Nik kit with assembly lube, no other
lubricants. Just my opinion here. Bob Hawkes
