Kolbenschmidt = Nikasils?
 
I have a set of Kolbenschmidt 95mm cylinders which are definitely magnetic inside.

Does this mean Kolbenschmidt made these with Nikasil coatings for the later '89 model 3.2 Carrera's?

Does anyone have a definitive answer on this?

Advice appreciated SmileWavy

i was under the impression that only Mahle did Nikasil

unless they licensed it to Kolbenscmidt.. which i doubt

Are the pistons, factory? How many miles were on the car when you bought her, Merv? Any chance have already been worked on? Since they are your extra set, why not contact that shop in Australia that does the coatings and have the eval if no one here comes up with anything.
