The alusil sounds like it has two good properties in its formula: aluminum base material that transmits heat well, and a good spattering of sand crystals which act as an ultra-hard wear surface.

Some questions:

-do the cylinder materials wear from top to bottom in a good, repairable shape with outwards pressure , or does it even matter with fresh rings ?

-do alusil cyls need to be used with a specific piston that matches its (AL) expansion rate, and what are the o.k. range specs?
