Bobcat in the second article. They ran a motor with just dry lubricants. The dyno showed less power then a untreated motor. ?????????? Also they do no investigating as far as adding longevity to engine parts.
Funfer2, ceramic coating the top outside of your intake is completely wrong as far as performance goes. The ceramic would hold in the heat, the ceramic would need to be added to the bottom side. They have a black coating that draws the heat out.
I'm also curious why someone would get detonation? Maybe the .004 to .005 thickness added to the piston and head added a little to much compression for the fuel someone used? Maybe they are getting pre-ignition.
