RoostDaddy:
Sounds to me like it's just the glazing on the sleeve.  Cant see it being Nikasil flaking, as you said it is an  '86.  I'd just give it a hone before installing the new piston and you should be set.

kwakman:
the 86's are nikasil and they do flake. :evil:

Interesting.  I guess you do learn something new everyday.  I thought the '86s were sleeved, sorry for the mis-information.

kwakman:
i think the 85 model was too, not sure, but the 86's definitely are,mine is.hth.

Goat:
85 is also nikasil plated
