[tyler440]

if i am correct "chrome bore rings" should be cast iron... from what i understand if the bore is chrome(or nikasil) you want to use cast rings, if the bore is cast you want to use chrome rings

Makes sence it would be the same as used in a chrome bore where both surfaces are very hard.

yeah i think nikasil is just cheaper and easier, thats why people are using it more now a days, its still hard like chrome
