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?

As well as the piston tops, you can also put a ceramic thermal barrier coat in the combustion chamber. Some bus guys do this to assist the heads from overheating. Forces the heat out the exhaust, not near as much goes into the heads.
Whatever you use, and wherever you put it, you have to account for the thickness of the coating when building your engine. Coatings on the piston top and on the combustion chamber will tighten up your CR. Zach |
