used cylinders?
I am going to look at some used 3.2 cylinders. What should I be looking for.

Look for sractches, score marks, missing cooling fins etc.
Take a bore gauge if possible, and measure for roundness, and to see if they are in spec (wear) |
Depends also on the pistons. Alusil pistons and Nikasil pistons cannot be mixed in the other type of cylinder. If in good shape you will still see the honing marks.
|
Bring a magnet. Nikasil cylinders will attract on the inner bore surface. Alusils will be non-magnetic.
What is your plan for these 3.2 cylinders? |
I have a 3..0 SC that I hope to turn into a 3.2ss. A mild 3.2ss with 9.5 pistons. Im not building a race car. Maybe one day......

Either Alusil or Nikasil will work. You will get them re-bored to 98 mm with fresh Nikasil plating.

Thanks for all the help. I bought the cylinders. There Mahle 98mm . They have no grooves or scraches but may need to be replated. I'll find someone to do an inspection that know more then I.
