Default Piston coating

The moly coatings are easy to apply and it will add .0005 to .001 make sure to mic your pistons before and after. The ceramic coating is water base and a bear to apply. I used a couple of pistons to practice on and also 2 touch up guns to avoid cross contamination. Make sure your compressor has a water seperator. I let my pistons soak over night in acetone, sprayed the skirts first, baked, then recleaned the tops and ceramic them. remember to remove tape and residue befor baking. Don't forget to blast with 120 aluminum oxide. Clean ring lands throughly when finished. Like I said it is very time comsuming.
I have a big shot of NOS on this engine and hoping the moly coat will reduce friction and the ceramic coating will limit piston expanstion and send the heat out the exhaust. If you are serious I would contact Techline Coating.
