We dont know anybody who recoats them, we dont know what the coating is. These rods are meant to have a service life of only 40 hours anyway. Im looking into the aerospace industry to see if there is a company tat can help outThe engines they came out of have about 20 hours on them, and we were hoping to get more use out of the rods.PMNA doesnt offer a reconditioning service for the rods. And there is a question whether or not they can be recoated/reconditioned. This is what we are going to explore next. Ill try and take some pics next week of the rods. Its pretty amazing that the connecting rods in the GT3RS engines are considered a maintenance item. To be replaced when an engine is refreshed. We know the owner of TiMet, a fellow racer. He and one of his metalurgists visited the shop the other day equiped with microsopes etc. They gave use the bad news (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |
