We can coat the ring land area of the piston, most recently done at the request of an NHRA Pro Stock team. Another application is in "stroker motor" engine platforms. The coating does add more stability to the piston above what the skirt coating alone provides. Coating the top end adds cost as the lands are coated separately from the skirts and require special masking to keep the coating out of the ring grooves. Please contact us directly if you are interested in having this service performed.

The coating’s “fuzzy” texture is made up of thousands of tiny peaks. As the coating burnishes itself to the ideal fit during the break-in, the peaks that abrade come off in tiny particles. Most of the particles will hang suspended in the oil until the first oil change; larger particles may get trapped by the oil filter. The coating is a proprietary blend of polymers and lubricious filler materials, so the particles also function as a lubricant.

Thanks!

Cylinder bore material has no bearing on the coating selection. Almost all engines with the exception of Top Fuel receive our "Slick+ CC" piston skirt coating. Other factors outlined in the video come into play when it comes to determining the Target Coating Thickness (TCT).

Thanks for your support!

We appreciate you spreading the word on our Abradable Powder Coatings!

Glad it was helpful!

They just made a video a couple of days ago that Answers some of your Question. ✌️

Kyle, there are other videos in our series which may answer your questions in more detail, so we’ll briefly touch on each one here. What is the coating made of? It's a proprietary blend of polymers and lubricious filler materials. The coatings contain no PTFE. Do you have different compounds for different applications and heat ranges? Our coatings cover a broad spectrum of thickness, strength, friction properties and heat ranges, and are designed to perform in a wide range of applications. Does the skirt length affect the effectiveness of the coating? No What is the recommended variation for the coating thickness? This depends upon your specific application. On piston skirts, we like to say that our "sweet spot" is .001" - .004" radial (.002" - .008" diametric), but we can and have applied .015" or more on the diameter of a piston and achieved the desired results. Does the coating debris affect softer metals? No Does this have thermal benefits or drawbacks not related to cylinder friction? Piston rings conduct heat energy from the piston crown to the cylinder wall. While there are thermal benefits due to reduced friction and improved lubrication, APC stabilizes the piston in the bore so that the rings stay in constant contact with the cylinder wall. The improved ring seal allows heat to be transferred more efficiently. Why is figure 4A off center? We’d like to say that we were checking to see if people were paying attention, but the truth is that it just slipped through that way. Why did you cut at the end of a pertinent question? Which question? Are there metals this coating does not adhere to? None that we have worked with yet. The coatings also successfully adhere to PEEK polymer Can these coating be applied with positive results to other pieces such as hydraulic lifters? Pistons, pumps, compressors, turbo/superchargers and bearings all have shown measurable benefits using APC. We've coated lifter bores and solid lifters, but cannot coat hydraulic or roller lifters unless they are fully disassembled so that we’re only working with the lifter body. Are these too many questions for a 20 min video? No, we appreciate your interest in our coatings. Please view our other videos for additional information.

How much does it coat

@@Line2LineCoatings You guys are !!!!AWESOME!!!! I discovered your product from Lake Speed Jr. I'll be contacting ya' soon. Best regards, Ben

@@Line2LineCoatings thank you!

We now have a music-free version on our channel: "Abradable Powder Coatings On Piston Skirts (No music soundtrack)"

No we will keep our engine whole thanks. You can keep playing with those 2 opposing inline 4 cylinders.

If my Chevy starts running like a Ford, it's going to the junk yard!!

Thanks for watching! You can contact us directly at info@line2linecoatings.com if you have questions.

@@Line2LineCoatings I looked at your web site, it looks interesting. I will keep the information handy for the future.

You're fucked!

I bet you vote too, and expect things to change, don't you? ROFLMFAO!!!

We are actively working with a licensee in Australia and hope to have them up and running soon. We will announce the opening on our website and Facebook page when it happens, so keep checking them for updates.

@@Line2LineCoatings cheers..

Cerakote is way better 👍

​@@johnmorgan5414 oh ya? Where's your data on that?

@@johnmorgan5414 I bet you vote too, and expect things to change, don't you? ROFLMFAO!!!

That wasn't music.

agree🙉

Yes!! Yes, we do!! It adds horsepower, kind of like race stickers all over your car!!

​@@Line2LineCoatingsthankyou 😊

We recommend completing all of the block work first and then getting the pistons coated. Sometimes things occur during the boring/honing process and the dimensions come out differently from what was planned. We cannot coat over cured coating, so if the pistons need to be resized to fit then they would need to be stripped and recoated at the cost of doing a second job.

I think Camcoat in the UK does this coating or a similar product

We are currently bringing on our first international licensee in Australia, and have been in discussions with others for the European market.

@@danielmintern4070 According to their website, Camcoat applies Tech Line coating products. While they are good for their intended use, they cannot achieve the dimensional build-up (.015" or more) that our patented, proprietary Abradable Powder Coatings are able to offer.

@@Line2LineCoatings ah ok, would love to see your product on offer here in the UK. It would have come in really handy in the past to build up pistons skirts after a re hone

@@danielmintern4070, a European applicator is definitely on our list of priorities. We do have several customers in the UK who routinely send us parts, but the shipping cost is understandably a barrier to a wider market. Thanks again for your interest in our coatings!

Yes, all engines can benefit from our coatings. We've coated pistons for use in engines ranging from chainsaws to Top Fuel Funny Cars, and that includes a lot of higher power street builds. Customers freshening up their engines after one season or many are amazed at how good the coating still looks. You can find many examples on our Facebook page.

Absolutely. Our coatings have been used in engines participating in Drag Week, and many higher power street/strip builds that are used as a daily driver and then taken to the track on the weekend.

We have coated solid lifters and tappets to take up excess clearance. We cannot coat hydraulic or roller lifters unless they are completely disassembled so that we are only working with the lifter body.

We can add and have added .015" and more to the diameter of a piston without any issues.

@@Line2LineCoatings wow thats crazy, i would like to send a set 4.005" ross racing pistons for a SBC in to get the skirts coated. Around how much would that cost?

@@CherezianRacing cost is determined by the number of pistons and the Target Coating Thickness. The base price for 8 pistons is $35/ea for up to .006" on the diameter, and $2 for each additional .001" above that. More detailed pricing can be found on our website at www.line2linecoatings.com/orderForm.html.

@@Line2LineCoatings thank you!

send your parts to them, with what you want done. fast turn around.

So what is the pricing per set of 8 cylinder

+nFlames2 - we have applied our Abradable Powder Coatings™ to heavily scored pistons and it has worked very well. It won't fill in the scored areas entirely, but since we can apply up to .015" diametric thickness (.0075" per side) it will definitely help the piston fit tight in the bore again.
