What cylinder do I have?

I am selling my cylinders from my '73 2.4e.

I though my mechanic told me they were not the cast iron lined.

Is there a way I can check myself to ensure I am selling the what I think I am selling?


Thanks

Jon,

If the cylinders have aluminum fins around an iron sleeve, then you have the original Biral cylinders. If, on the other hand, the fins are covered in rust, you have a set of 'T' cast iron cylinders. Only the 'T' engines came with cast iron cylinders ... all other 911 engines from '64 thru '73 had Biral cylinders!
