who did the work and how much? You can PM me if you don't want to mention it here.

 

Its a race shop in Mexico City that builds all the race cars for the Telcel teams. They don't do work for the general public and only work on motors for race cars or friends of the owner which is my case. He's a friend of a friend and he resleeved my engine and modified my heads a bit for higher compression. They have all the best equipment available. They are funded by Carlos Slim to work and build all his race cars for his teams.

 

Schnell said that because "Nickies" is an active trademark of LN Engineering.

Thank you for your intervention. Groan!
But for those like me who are ignorant but like to learn ,here is a link to clarify the technical differences between Nickies and the generics. In fairness, I note the OP was clearly aware of this and said so.Others.....not so much.

If there is no difference between the item using the TM "Nickies" and generics, we would like to know the technical explanation. This is a very technical issue and precise use of technical words and Trade Marks matters.Without that the discussion becomes misleading at best.
Hartech is another interesting source. https://www.hartech.org/cylinder-liners
Then there are the iron/steel sleeved options - see AutoFarm for more.
I hope fellow Forum members find the links useful and interesting.

 

Wait, iron is suddenly an acceptable option? It was heresy when Forscheworks dared to suggest that ductile iron sleeving was a viable alternative...

 

I do not know enough to endorse any product here ! But iron sleeves are used in Pcars in U.K. but seem to have a rather contentious reputation. See Hartech for more. Baz has many pages on that.In the USA there is a place in Louisiana that does them but I am not going to even mention them by name ! 'Nuff said? YEMV - but let's see the comparative data fist?

 

I wasn't suggesting you were in charge of the "approved" list of sleeve materials/coatings, nor that you were one of the parties involved with beating Martin up about them. Sorry if it came across otherwise.

 

Have you purchased the ARP bolts yet?

So how is Marty doing without the weekly thrashing he begged for on Rennlist ?

No I have not but im about to. You have a special price?

 

We can help people that are ignorant of the facts no matter how close their mind is!

 

For the 3.4 996

 

 

Now that you have the ARP bolts ,it may help the keyboard critics understand if you post photo comparing the stock rod bolt with ARP and give your own comments and observations.

 

This is for future build - my last motor turbo 3L
968 had 24 Psi boost only used ARP never an issue on head gasket and 650 hp out of 4 cyl
No question these are the best - small investment for best bolt
