Interesting. Thanks for the document.

I know Mahle now makes Nickasil cylinders smaller than 90mm. I thought that when Porsche used Nickasil on the 917 with great performance, they decided to solve the 911ST problem at the same time. I would think they would not bother with the smaller bores and would go straight for the 89mm 2500cc short stroke which they knew offered the best performance.

Do you have a time period for the smaller Nickasils or was this something done after the 911ST had been developed and replaced by 911 Carrera RS/RSR?
