Anyone here used them ? Sent them an enquiry and got an abrupt reply, sent another message requesting an estimate of their charges and never heard back from them. frown

Only really them and Capricorn that seem to have a good reputation working with Alusil or fitting iron liners in alloy blocks. Nether of them bothered to reply to my enquiries.

What are you trying to get done & where are you, others may have other recommendations that actually want the work & can be bothered.

Weighing up the costs between fitting ali/iron dry liners and/or nikasil plating on a 3.0 944 block. I want whoever does the machining to specify the pistons/rings also.

I contacted Capricorn about their Alloy Ceramic Nickel liners for the 951 & they recommended Geoff Page Racing:

Geoff is ex-Tyrell, Terry Hoyle & through Terry, Group B for the Ford RS200 engine development program, the Quattro A1 & A2 engines for David Sutton's Audi Sport UK team & involvement with the Metro 6R4.

He also worked for David Mountain's WRC engine program & worked for Brain Hart's F1 engine business in '96.

Seems odd as it's something Capricorn used to do themselves, are they distancing themselves from this work now or was it to build the engine after the liners were fitted.?
