I just got all my engine internals back from the performance coaters. Now if I could just remember how to put this thing back together!

The Piston Top, Combustion Chambers, Valve Faces, and Exhaust Stub Tubes were coated in a Thermal Barrier. The Piston Skirts were coated in an anti-friction coating, and the Valve Springs were coated with a dry-film that absorbes oil.

360 lbs seat pressure??? blink.gif I'm not a type four engine guy, but that seems high! Could you mean open pressure @ max lift?? Or are you using a roller cam? Just curious. My new champion aluminum heads for my V6 Buick (project) only have a 100 lbs seat pressure for a .500 lift cam. Good luck with your engine

Yep...you caught me...I mean't open pressure. I am using ceramic lifters and roller rockers.

What type of coating on the skirts?
Brad Roberts
Basically Kevin.. its a teflon coating or anti friction. In case the pistons expand too much we want some "cushion". With the thermal barriers in place.. we shouldnt have a issue with the skirts rubbing the cylinders, but just in case.. we have the anti friction coating.

Those are some nice looking parts!!!!

I'm curious to hear how it works... But, the bigger question being... How much did it cost???

Yea Nylocks thats what I should have used.
How much of a cam are you going to run with the ratio rockers? I could sell a kidney or something. I want it I want it I want it. Don't know why I just want it.

Not sure why I never considered Nylocks on the rocker studs. I guess I can quit for the day I learned something new. pray.gif

Watch those rockers!

360 open is still pretty high, I run 265 and rev to 7K, with almost every combo we run, and stay controlled just fine.

Everyone is different.
