Which cylinder alloy do I have...

I'm in the teardown/cleaning phase of my rebuild and I'm trying to figure out whether I have Nikasil or Alusil cylinders, someone like to shed some light? (see photo)

From the date stamp of '81 on the heads, it appears that you have a late SC motor. On the SC you need to count the fins on the cylinder to tell the difference.

Nikasil and Alusil

11 fins = Nikasil

10 fins = Alusil
