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 have direct experience of it preventing damage and warpage to T4 heads.
In one particular extreme case a customer with data acquisition recorded sustained 1450*EGT's for a double weekend of vintage racing. It got so hot it eroded the exposed section of exhaust guides, which was why the customer sent me the heads to check out. Zero warpage or detonation damage and no loss of valve seal to the seats. I've been recommending it for all of my bus customers for several years now. I can't speak to power gains, but it does help prevent heat related damage to the heads. Merry Christmas! |
