The alusil cylinders are reusable if they are checked out and are within spec. I do not care what anyone says about them. My 1981 had 95,000 miles or so on it when I bought it and upon adjusting the valves I discovered numerous head stud broken........long story.
My machinist, which is hands down the very best in the Midwest in my opinion (AMT Racing Engines), new all about the felt pad with the Sunnen AN-30 paste to reintroduce the silicon particals in the cylinder walls in the Alusil cylinders. Rather than me spend countless thousands of dollars on new Nikasils and new pistons bla bla bla, we simply reconditioned my OEM alusils and my engine is 100% proof positive that this can and is successfully done.
My engine has a lot of nice mods on it and it will run with the best of them.
So, like the other man said take a deep breath and read up on this before you go blow the wad on all new goods. You can and will save a lot of money if you are confident in your machinist!
Good luck.
