When considering the density of aluminum variants I decided to compare the weight difference between the alloy used in making Mahle Nikasil cylinders vs the KS Alusil.

Of course both cylinders were decked to an equal height and both cylinders were fresh Nikasil coating. The results were interesting. The KS cylidner was 17.11 grams heavier suggesting a denser material. Almost 2% heavier.
