While I have the pistons out, I am thinking of applying a Ceracote / thermal coating to the tops of the pistons. Has any one tried this via a do it youself or are the DIY finishes not any good?

We use ceracoat for refinishing some of our steering racks. It requires baking. So for your application you may want to send them out. My biggest concern would be if the coating (which is quite durable ), comes off. It might act like sandpaper on the cylinder walls.
