Machine the cylinders correctly to the specification provided by the Piston manufacturer. Gap your rings correctly. If you want a heat and friction resistant coating use Cerakote.

Also, in regards to a jet engine. The blades actually lengthen the longer they are run due to high heat and centrifugal forces which is also part of the reason for the abradable shroud

When I read that the SR71 engine grows 6 inches in length at temp I was blown away.... tolerances, tolerances... Wild stuff! Thanks

@@jaymeagher1510 the sr71 had gaps in the fuel tank and used to leak when it was at ambient temperature too. Only once it went supersonic, the friction on the fuselage would heat it up enough that it would expand and close all the gaps. Very extreme aircraft however. The civil aviation jet engines I work on aren't like that. They have tight tolerances throughout.

very cool information, it is great to see some actual components! I was on the fence for my next set of pistons but you may have made up my mind.

the explanation is easy to understand sir about the coating on the piston

Thank you❤ Now all my insecurities about that topic are eliminated. I'm gonna go for it on my new engine build!

This channel is very cool. So informative. I'm very thankful.

@@ToprankImporters We're saying the same thing. This coating would complement a hard coat well. I think more people tend to under estimate the bore/rings needs for lubrication. Especially with alcohol based fuels. Thanks

Perfect for those diesel motors that are a little oversized on the bore.

Its crazy that I just so happened to experience the same scenario where my engine failed, not due to excessive p2w however my p2w is excessive and I was ready to let it rock as is. Now I have no excuse if I decide to do so while knowing this is an option

Will this work on outboard engines ,thanks for any information.

Is this a good idea for used pistons? I removed mine and cleaned it with Chem-dip. Just not sure if I should do skirt coating for restoration of loss factory coating or just WPC treat it instead. I’ve never seen a new k24 factory piston before so I don’t if from the factory they add a coating to make the skirt perfectly smooth over the horizontal lines from the machining.

Can you use this coating on Alusil?

Is this the same or different to molybdenum coating? I've just had my piston skirts and cam bearing tunnels molybdenum coated.

Cool content, very interesting! What does a typical run-in period look like? And how long is the coating expect to last in a street run engine?

Once break in is completed the coating should stay on the part indefinitely. The coating only comes off if it comes into contact with something else.

Jay, have you guys done anything with hard anodized pistons? I'm curious on the subject.

@jaymeagher1510

Жыл бұрын

I've used them however I don't have a conclusive outcome. I know in top fuel it's a must, in milder engines I suppose letting the heat dissipate through the piston (cooled from the oil on the bottom" and through the chamber should be good for normalized temps. I'd say it depends on the engine! Thanks

I’m wondering why my tomei pistons didn’t come with coating?

Can I coat my tires with this so they last longer

love your videos. just wondering, what would you say is a reliable hp number for a regularly driven car that you want to last a while? 100hp per cylinder?

@jaymeagher1510

Жыл бұрын

That depends on the engine platform and it's original power level. Generally OEM turbocharged engines have a higher ceiling than NA but some really good NA engines like the F20C or Coyote deal well with over 100hp per cylinder in stock form. Also you have to define "regularly driven", some people are down right destructive and others are just doing a couple rips here and there. Thanks

The same benefit of changing the surface finish with WPC is had with an abradable coating. The main difference is that abradable coating changes the dimension of the part but a WPC coating does not.

@@realstreetperformancejay along this same question, i was looking at WPC. I am doing a stroker kit on Hemi engine. My assumption was the additional piston rock with the stroker kit would be more beneficial with the abradeable coating being that it should hold the piston more square in the bore?

How long would this last if I was to recoat a piston?

Once it's stabile the coating should stay intact for a long time. Ford was using a similar process on the 4.6 2V in the early 90's and it was always present when I broke those engines down. Thanks

Not sure if you ever covered this before but what is your procedure for lubricating pistons when installing? Some say dry install and some put a lot of oil. Just curious what your opinion is.

@realstreetperformance

Jay Lubricates the Piston Skirts and Cylinder walls with a 30W non detergent motor oil during install. Not too much because anything extra is just going to start dripping down the bore, maybe even into places where it shouldn't.
