I've been wondering about that too. I worked at several Porsche shops in the 80&90s and never heard anything about this process. All the machine shops told us to toss the alusils. Even the old Mercedes Sl motors that used Alusil were considered throwaways. I think part of the mystery is that KS doesn't do any aftermarket sales, its all OEM, so product support seems limited to very high production users like the auto mfgs. If it wasn't for the internet I doubt it would have been found.
Not knocking KS, they have been very helpful. Just MHO
You know there's a book in here: Rebuilding Techniques for Engines using non-traditional materials....
