jbooker82 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I would have the exhaust port coated after having the pistons and domes done. That way you keep the exhaust heat in the exhaust, and not soaking in to the cylinders. That would attribute to a cooler running engine. If you had nice chrome pipes could could also have them coated on the inside. This will help keep them from turning blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 My last piston I put in my raptor I had swan tech do the Gold Coat on the piston head. It is a little tougher higher temp coating. The funny thing is they sent me the wrong piston back. I kind of knew what to expect because they called me the day before I recieved it to give me a heads up. I got some guys 80cc piston, and he got my raptor's 102mm piston. We both sent them back to swain tech and they sent them back out to the correct people. Nothing major just a little mix up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Think what you want but engine coatings do work. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/hrdp_0612_engine_coatings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figaro Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 i agree with both of you and i will buy the impeller and the radiator and coolhead but i am also looking in to the ceramic coating and it is very interesting the clams they make. if i do have it ceramic coated i will do it for the reliability not performance as i am not convinced it makes much of a difference. the parts list any suggestions are welcome I heard that the Water impeller is a gimmick and it actual hurts the water flow?

jbooker82 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Like having a dry film lubercat hold 2 stroke oil on the skirts of the piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 dont wait your money on that stuff. if you want your engine to run colder, get a billet WP impeller, a oversize radiator. jet it on the rich side and you should be good. is that the secret to your diesel killing torque monster banshee?

figaro Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Like having a dry film lubercat hold 2 stroke oil on the skirts of the piston. i just read the full artical its interesting and it said that the higher rpm the better the more the coating will add HP and i think the banshee revs to 11,000rpm but like you said you did it for the reliability not performance and that s what i want. i think it wil be about 300$ to do the whole engine so i will just see how my expenses ar for building the engine and maybe i will have the pistons done with the skirts like you did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 coatings are nice... i'm not sure why you would run a "tight motor" sounds like a shady bore job to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
