cr85 iron bore or nikasil

Started 2 months, 1 week ago (2008-10-30 06:18:00) by ulmanb

one more question on my friends kids bike. Getting really low compression readings (80psi). Will likely recommend a new top end, are these 85's a iron bore or nikasil plated cylinder (I havent pulled apart yet to know)? Do they typically require a crank rebuild too? I know the air filter looks like it aint been cleaned in years, thats why I checked the compression.

nikasil plated?

Started 2 months, 1 week ago (2008-10-26 03:19:00) by crfmxer

is the CRF230 cylinder nikasil plated? I'm doing a rebuild and I called the dealer and tried ordering an oversized piston he says nobody makes one and that it would be cheaper to buy a new cylinder at 300 dollars instead of getting it sent out to be replated at 350 dollars.

Test for Nikasil problems

Started 2 months, 2 weeks ago (2008-10-21 20:27:00) by npc12

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to pick up an Xjr on Friday and would like to know what I can do, before handing over the hard earned, to establish if there are any Nikasil issues present. Is a standard compression test sufficient? All advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Hi folks, thank you for the quick replies. I also thought it had to be Mahle Alusil, but since they are so rare, I did not want to believe, that I acutally have 2 Mahle Alusil engines at once. Al least I can start to swap parts. Thanks again for your help, Nico

That number identifies the intake manifold for various M60 motors; it doesn't match any known BMW replacement powerplant numbers.
