RE: HQ 98" Kit
I think you're talking about the nicasil(sp?) cylinders. Do a search and you'll see some threads on this. Or call HQ and ask them. They're a prettygood bunch of guys and straight shooters.

RE: HQ 98" Kit
Only an hour and a half and a "bump"--perhaps you should call HQ and cancel the order, do the research, and then decide if you really want the nikasil RevPerf cynlindersor not.
Personally, I'd prefer the bored stock cylinders so Doug can do the machining and give me a perfect cylinder/piston fit. The nikasil cylinders cannot be machined to permit the piston match--they're manufactured to a tolerance and a set of pistons if pulled to complete the set.
PM PhilM and Hotpurusit--they had the RevPerf nikasil cylinders, though didn't buy them from HQ.

I don't think I'd cancel anything, just modify the order.
