is ceramic coating of pistons worth the effort?
what about doing only the piston tops and not the combustion chamber? I am getting a new set of pistons and can have them supplied with the ceramic coating... I would have to clean up and send out the heads to have them done..looking for forum wisdom. |

I would do valve heads, piston tops, and the exhaust. The idea is to get the heat out of the head. The 951 used alucil to slave the piston, but they didn't use a thermal coating on the block. With the cylinder head of the 951 having ceramic liners it did increased the efficiency of the turbo, but did remove heat from the head also.
