Re: Honing Nicasil
I've been in Ron's shop when we were in town for the "frost your nuts" run oct '12 and it is clean and well organized. He cares about every piece he works on. I wouldn't send my stuff anywhere else.

Re: Honing Nicasil
No, it's only around .003" thick. If it needs a bore, it will need to be stripped of the nic, bored, replayed and finish honed. Returning them to standard with a replate is most common.dennyhydrostream wrote:Can Nicasil be bored? I was told it couldn't an if so how much to bore a 245 block over 0.15 ?
US Chrome is the most common place to have it done. There are others though.
