I am getting going to get ready to put a 2056 FI engine together for a daily driver. Trying to decide if the cost is worth the difference. Biral are supposed to run 20 % cooler. Porsche used them for a couple of years and moved on to coatings.

I'm confused here
Why would you want any coating on cylinders that isn't a thermal dispersal type? Any type of coating would slow the transfer of heat out of the cylinder and isn't that a bad thing for air-cooled engines? |
