IX:

Chrome or nickel? You pays your money and you takes your choice.

There are many ABN engines running well, that don't peel their liners. They are not OS.

Chrome is harder than nickel, so it will wear longer. The limit though, is probably wear of the aluminum piston so the liner plating is moot, unless it peels.

OS has proved they know how to make cruddy plating, so even if they lower their prices I wont trust their ABN/ABL liners. They will have to go back to ABC before I buy a new one.

The K&B 61, a ringed engine, has a chromed liner. It never wears out, a new ring every few years and it goes forever.

Bill.
