Hi Charles,
What do you mean by a 'flame ring'?
If you refer to the late 964 and 993 cylinder-head seal that is embedded into the top of the cylinder wall, then the answer is yes, but not the same ring/material will be used .
Also the cylinders may probably not be Nikasil coated, but with a substance of even less friction, at least as hard as nikasil and lower cost (for our 4 seperate cylinders at least). Its a bit experimental, so I/we can't say/know much more about it yet, but we love this kind of thing and it will be fun to see if it works.

Regards,
Walter
