LN Engineering is proud to offer our Nickies™, the ultimate cylinders for your
powerful & reliable aircooled engine.
It is not always that you hear high performance and long life paired together,
especially when referring to performance aircooled engines. It is very typical,
even with high-powered cooling systems, that high-performance engines run too
hot, and as you know heat kills! Higher operating temperatures result in a
thermally overloaded engine that, among other things, has cylinders that fail to
seal against the head and have significantly shorter life spans versus stock
displacement engines. Displacement alone doesn’t make it better, Nickies™ make
it run cooler and make more power. Our Nickies™ package is the culmination of
every technological advance related to pistons and cylinders for your aircooled
engine!
Nickies™ make the difference!
