Default Re: How much boring inside the cylinder liners?

Has anyone researched the possiblilty of oversized aluminum sleeves with Nikasil coating? I'm not sure if there is enough room available in the block to accomodate oversize aluminum liners without compromising coolant flow or having the walls of the liners too thin. The reason I ask is that there is a company in Wisconsin that does all of the Nikasil coating for Mercury Racing. We run Nikasil coated bores in the Formula I outboard motors that we race and they do all of our Nikasil coating work.
