where to get a good cylinder?

[kidAntrim]

I picked up two free blasters 96' & 97'
neglected and left outside. I'm cleaning them up and rebuilding them. just curious is there are any brands out there worth purchasing if needing a new cylinder that isn't 500$
I know niche got bad reviews. but what about blackhorse racing? anyone know about this brand?

Just get an OEM bored !!

Have cylinder measured
Buy piston
Bore/hone to fit THAT PISTON there are minor differences

Think about it, if you can buy a cylinder, head, piston and gaskets for less than a Wiseco piston, what kind of quality do you think you’re going to get??

• I would pay to have a new sleeve put into a worn out OEM before I’d waste money and time on Chi-NA JUNK

Here’s the skinny on the cylinder.
They’re probably ALL made in the same place just different sellers.

Name one GOOD THING from Chi-NA?
