...quote...K-Liners were originally popularised by those in the trucking industries, where utter dependability and high mileages are their bread and butter. Big rigs can be demanded to run for 250,000 miles and more, time off the road is an expense that the owners cannot afford.
K-Line, the best solutions for your head problems
The Cylinder Head Shop was one of the first engineers to use these for classic and racing engines. For many years, smoothbore liners were used by a few specialist race tuning shops in America and we used these until K-Liners brought out their remarkable interrupted scrolled liners.
Their Guide-Liners are made of spring tempered phosphor bronze, which is an anti-seizing, anti-wear, high strength-to-weight ratio material. It is more dense than cast iron, has a higher rate of thermal conductivity, a lower coefficient of friction and insures higher lubrication retention due to the interrupted spiral feature of the product engraved on to the inside of the liner....quote
Anyone have any thoughts on these?
