I went to the powder/ceramic coater today and we were discussing the internal engine coatings he also offers. That prompted me to do some research on them for future use. I found this article I thought was fairly informative being that I have a few personal engines that would benefit from some extra protection if I ever when I get around to building them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Jake, Mark, Joe, etc care to offer personal opinions ?

With the QC state of new 911 main bearings I'll take DFL coated good used main bearings over new.

I don't like DFL coatings on everything, I DFL coat the softer of the 2 metals
Ceramic coating are a PITA to process, I often have to recoat a good 25%of my work to get it right.

They work well and a diffidently worth it, but it is often hard to convince the customer they are worth the extra cost. The material itself isn't very expensive but the prep labor is intensive and extremely important for successful coatings.

I'd say most high end engine builders use at least some of these coatings.
