Pretty interseting. Maybe they should create cylinder liners which are ultra thing - like a silicon nickel composite plama arced onto aluminum liners.

They could call the resulting technology SiliNic.......

(GRins!)

2 stroke guys figured this all out 30 years ago and use chrome type plating called nicasil. Theory is the plating is on a aluminum, which is a great conductor of heat.
