Need Help Identifying Cylinders
 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Mahle-pistons-and-liners-set-for-Porsche-2-4-911S-1972-1973-91110394401/323183007374?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid =p2055119.m1438.l2649

The part number on this P/C set indicates the cylinders should be Nikasil. They do not look like nikasil cylinders to me (but I'm not an expert). I contacted the seller but he was unsure if they are nikasil and stated the part number indicated they were.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg

Those are birel, which is an iron liner that is cast with the aluminum fins, good cyls just an expensive process.
