R3W7 Assembly
Today's progress...pistons back from getting tops ceramic coated and skirts dry film lube coated. Also had them do the cam bearings while they were at it. PolyDyn is close to me so I'm able to drop stuff off without shipping. While I was there, Carl (the owner) showed me a coated piston from a NASCAR engine that had been run in a race... the interesting thing was the underside of the dome looked like fresh aluminum; no signs of heating or burned oil, etc. He claimed that's a result of the ceramic coating not letting the piston get as hot.
