i was thinking about getting a 165 tb bbk but skirtless cylinder kind of scares me... do they work good???

Ive heard yes & no. Id go with a 143/stroker comes out to a 155 & lots of bottom end.

thats a very good combo , but to answer the question
they do work good , just needs to be maintained more like a race motor

I was thinking about the 165. What sort of maintenance/how often? Sorry for the hijack

the tighter tollerence of the slipper piston and ceramic cylinder must be maintained somewhat more frequent piston changes
nothing crazy , just more frequently than old schools steel liner types

you can get a 64mm cylinder with a skirt and "special"piston(dont meber name of piston he said)(165 combo) and use the V2 tb race head and stroker crank...

but with this ull have to bore ur cases for the sleeve to fit

Terry at firepower minis talked to me about this... he know the combo better than me...

wanna chime in terry about that haha
