Engine Rebuild Nikasil
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have a 1998 jaguar XJR that I知 working on It currently has low compression on cylinder 4.
I think it has the nikasil engine. I am planning on rebuilding the engine, new piston, rings, new head gasket and new timing components. I will most luckily pull the motor to make it easier. I知 not sure whether to go with a new engine block or how would I go back to the regular steel liners that was introduced in 2002 how would I do that. Another question are there any companies that sell forged pistons for this type of engine or anything interchangeable that will fit.

I have a few old NIKASIL engines from when I worked at the dealer. Insurance companies would send a used engine for replacement and not want the core back.
I did take one worn engine from the late 1990s over to a machine shop to get new liners installed.
New liners matched to the pistons with new rings from a cast iron liner engine. (NIKASIL RINGS are different)
I still have the engine but never installed it in a car.
It can be done if the Nickel Silicon liner is destroyed.
