Anyone using Nickies slip-fit "oversize" cylinders? - your experience?

Hey everybody,

Just starting on my 3.3 turbo rebuild. LN Engineering offers slip fit 100mm P&Cs for this application (for a true 3.5 liters). Normally the case spigots need to be machined to go over 98mm P&Cs. I am considering going this route on my build, but would be interested in hearing any real-world experiences and impressions (particularly on a turbo car).

This is primarily a street car which may see a couple DEs per year.

Your insights are appreciated.

If Charles says it works, it works. These cylinders in any spec are works of art and very robust.

I ordered a set of 93mm from L&N Engineering for a 2.7 and have no problems. Perfect fit and no leaks after 1 1/2 years of hard driving. This is a twin plug 10.6:1 comp engine.
