    Nickasil is a coating on the inner side of a bore .Nickasil stands for Nickel Silicon Carbide...and the coating is superior to Chrome.
    The coating can be made on a Aluminum Bore or an iron sleeved bore.

        I believe it is already sleeved and coated..If you re-bore any bore beyond 4th oversize of 1mm this coating will no longer be present.
