I don't know that there would be any difference in corrosion
resistance for steel cylinders.


You might try one of the proprietary liners like nikasil or nuchrome.


Be careful, though. Â*Thousands of people were burned by ECI on
cermichrome cylinders.


OTOH, I put 900 hours on my Cermichromes and loved them... They were
still going strong when I sold the plane...

Lycoming cylinders, then, cause I've never heard of cylinders lasting
that long on a Continental, and every cermichrome I've ever known of
either died at 100 to 200 hours, or had to be honed to get to 300.
