Are your pistons setup for the nikasyl plating of the 964 cylinders?
I had a complete set from a 964 and had a hard time selling them. I finally got 500$ out of them on ebay.

Hi Steve,
I'll need chrome piston rings. Do'nt have them yet.
I had a hard time to find my Set. Got them for 400€ from a Porsche Spare Parts Dealer.
But this weekend a set of 5 pieces went für 113€ on Ebay
So your 500$ seem to be okay 
Greets,
Nick

Thanks WallyWally wrote:Your cylinder is upside down
Nice work man!
I thought mounting the cylinder upside down would result in best cooling, but im not sure
Would you mount them 911 Style, the bigger cooling-fins at the bottom side ? Maybe thats the right way,
an they need air deflectors at the bottom. Any suggestions ?

Re: aircooled WBX 2546ccm
Yes, the top is cooled extremely well already, more fins at the bottom is logical as it gets less direct air.
I used the original bottom deflectors as well. Cooling will be excellent.
I would maybe have shaved the top fin of the cylinders and leave the head fin be, but I am sure you will be fine

Re: aircooled WBX 2546ccm
I meant the original type 1 deflectors They are plenty around I think. I used cut-down original type 4 deflectors, but either should work, as long as you have something to divert the air left-right
Thought you were going to use original 964 pistons, turned down. Be sure to get the nicasil compatible rings. Not sure 'chrome' rings are that kind, but I am not a specialist in that area...just be sure they are nikasil compatible.

Re: aircooled WBX 2546ccm
I already have Type 3 Style Type 1 deflectors, so i'll trim them
I heard that Niki-piston rings are an alloy with chromate to work on the harder Nikasil surface.
I'm not sure, but i think and hope that standart 996 GT3 has Nikasil coated cylinders too.
I sent an e-mail one minute ago to play safe.

I agree, that looks very well suited there!

Re: aircooled WBX 2546ccm
So is it just Me or are the case studs hitting the cylinders? Plans for this?
You need to hurry up a little, I just got some 964 cylinders off ebay and need to know what to do next.

Yes, the case studs would hit the cylinders, but milling them at that point ain't any problem.
I've already done that. Pictures's come soon.
