Sounds great but how- "BORE TECH uses mechanical infusion technology to force fine particles of silicon carbide under pressure into the cyclinder wall. The carbide being twelve times harder than steel, gives an unusually wear-resistant surface... one that is also oil wettable. The result is a cylinder that won't wear out (at least, not at anything approaching the normal rate) but actually breaks in like plain iron."- Would that be good? The rings would never break in and seat to the cylinder wall, thus not getting a good seal. At least to me thats what I think would happen. Now for a cylinder to never wear out and wear out really slow would be great, less times you have to tear down and rebuild. Wonder what it could do if it works, on car and truck motors?

 

[warriorgirl09]

rings would wear out WAY to fast... same as running moly rings... they wear the cylinder out really fast

 

[dirtrider73068]

How would the rings wear way fast? Unless they used carbide rings but then that wouldn't make sense.

 

[warriorgirl09]

the cylinder would be alot harder than a standard cylinder and it would wear pretty much the rings only instead of the rings and cylinder

Ya but think of it this way its cheaper to chainge ringest then pistons bore and honeing a cylender

 

[warriorgirl09]

true that... but i still shy away from it myself.. but thats just me

 

[duneracerweston]

ya I would want some one else to be the lab rat before I try it that's for sure

 

[warriorgirl09]

Bore, Hone and Carbide Bore Process $ 165.00

Thats from there website but could be different pricing pending on motor. Don't seem to steep to me, but still hard to believe its better to carbide the bore, and it doesn't wear out. Wonder if they have carbide rings to go with it?

I am not around there I have thought about seeing if they have email contact and ask them how this works and how long the parts last.

yeah I clicked contact us and was hoping for an email myself but that is all they had
