I'll hop in and hopefully give you some insight. We've been making cylinders for the aircooled engines for many years now, producing a premium product for those looking for the ultimate cylinder and piston combos. At the request and suggestion of Pelican Parts owner Wayne Dempsey, I looked into the feasibility of making replacement cylinders (sleeves) for the 986/996 engines to address the issues with broken liners and the solution we came up with, as shown on our website, is our rendition of how we think we can improve upon the cylinder arrangement on these engines using improved materials and methods to 'upgrade' these blocks. Although not for the faint of heart, price wise upgrading a 986/996 block with our liners and new pistons is roughly the same price as what it normally runs for a set of aircooled pistons and cylinders.
