Ever since I got ceramic coated headers on my Nova, they're the only kind of coating I use. No wrapping, no paints, no other coatings -- just ceramic coating. Keeps heat in the engine bay way down, it looks good, it lasts a long time, doesn't rust. For an idea, my Nova dropped 46°F under the hood after putting ceramic coated headers on. It's really worth the extra money.

That piston demo was a bit dodgy don't you think??? To start with he held the flame a lot further away with the coated pistons- away from the hottest part of the flame. Then the editing didn't allow you to see if he held the flame on as long as he did with the non- coated piston (although that may have been done on purpose). Next time someone tries this on, you might want to remind the person that your viewers aren't that silly and a shady demo will in tern make the product look shady. Disappointing- was hoping to see a fair and honest test to see how good it realty works. Think I might stick with the coatings available from the piston manufacturers for now...

So adding more ceramic coats on internals, can give you more hp gains and torque because the heat resistant ceramic coat reduces the heat so dramatically. That’s actually impressive. I love this idea.

Why not powder coat engine parts?

A few years ago I was rebuilding a tractor for the home farm, and just for shits and giggles, decided to have the pistons coated. Wasn't looking for better performance, just thought it might start better in the cold if the piston wasn't sinking away as much heat from compression. Now I didn't have a "control", and the engine was already badly in need of an overhaul, but it starts better than when it was new, and is still running well. So was I crazy for trying it?

It's a well documented problem with coated extractors for example.... It's not really a problem on N/A or supercharged applications but on a turbo vehicle it can damage the turbos when chunks start coming off the pipes internally. When it's done on pistons it just tends to gradually wear away and isn't an issue usually. I think this is an inherent problem with coating pipes. I don't think it really matters who does it, it will happen eventually on all coated pipes. Sure, some shops will do a better job than others- but you can't claim one shop in the U.K has it nutted out better than the rest of the world. Don't believe their advertising hype dude

Interesting! The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. This raises an issue or two, not allowed for in the original engine design: during normal combustion the heat which would've been absorbed by the piston and transferred to the connecting rod and engine oil now remains above the piston, increasing the heat of the combustion chamber, valves and cylinder head cooling galleries. I see potential pre-ignition, overheating cylinder heads and overheating exhaust valves.

I agree with many comments before me ceramic coating definitely works but the heat test performed in this video is not an Apple to Apple comparison first the piston heads were not the same so that may of have help make the difference even more noticeable and the torch distance was not at the same distance when heating up the piston head without the coating it was closer and distributed to the entire piston unlike the ceramic coated heads

Would be cool to see though no doubt, I'd imagine some shaving of the housing to make up for the coating may have to be done? Not sure how thick it ends up but I'd imagine the tolerancing on the housings is pretty serious.

I had my frypan done, looks great but now It won't cook anything

Coz it is high-carbon material, not a steel. So it is worse temp- and electric- transmitter than the steel. So the surface is cooling much faster than the core. But, as the 'internal' surface is bigger than the face, I do believe it should cool even faster than the core (the sides are in fact radiator i.e. heat-spreader). So is my logic, obviously here we face something else.

Best video ever about coatings

Reading the comments I'd like to see you do another video to do like a mythbusters episode to disprove some of what I see. I work in a lab. Putting the blowtorch on a stand for the same time on each piston to ensure the test is the same for each piston. Then measuring each temp at timed intervals over a long period of time you could create a graph to show what's going on. There are many variables that need to be sorted out aswell but I'm not going into it now. I was a powdercoater for years and ceramic is a far better product as powdercoating is just plastic really. Could you do a chip and scratch test aswell.

Saw a review of it recently on one of the top drag racing channels that I watch called demonology, together with the Kooks headers on his Dodge Demon. They were much cooler than normal and everyone is really impressed with jet hot, so I looked them up after watching the vid and says that its a product made by Kooks and is designed for the aerospace industry. One of my next mods is going to be a set of long tubes for my Challenger as well, and have been planning on going with Kooks. After hearing about it, I searched the web and the headers typically go for around 1200 to $1600. But then have to add around 350 for the coating. Although I found one for around $1,000, and am shocked that they are so inexpensive. They are the 1 3/4 instead of 1 7/8, but that is still dirt cheap for them. (Especially with the coating and is a bargain). I have the link if anyone is interested, and are for the 6.1 & 6.4 hemis only...mxamotorsports.com/product/jet-hot-headers-6-1-6-4l-hemi/

Can you use exhaust wrap on ceramic coated headers or dumps? I've read that the excessive heat in the pipes can crack the coating.

What sort of prices are we talking on piston coating?

for all you guys asking about putting on cylinder walls and crank journals the answer is absolutely not these area's are machined to tight tolerances and also this stuff would not hold up to the friction on moving parts

Question: When you coat engine parts or engine blocks. That's aluminium ect. The parts or the engine loses its ability to release heat? I did see a video of a intake manifold coated vs not. 30min cool down time the coated part was 50c+ abow the non coated.

When of the best videos Fullboost!

Would the the piston not need coated on the walls as well due to heat transfer from the bore and rings as it goes up and down?

Having the piston absorb heat will keep combustion temps lower though? It will move heat away from the combustion chamber. Keeping all the heat above the piston will send it into the valves, am i wrong

The temperature gun cannot measure on very shiny surfaces......Meaning the uncoated piston is about 200 Celsius on the top as underneath. The coated pistons are about 80 Celsius, if the surface is measurable with temperature gun correctly . And almost tge same underneath. That means the coating seems to Block the heat coming in the aluminium of the piston. And therefore less energy transferred to the oil of the engine.

Excellent video

Question... I can see how coating a piston head helps with heat dissipation, but how much will coating a piston head or perhaps even an intake and exhaust valve help with the carbon build up, which also gets baked on, which occurs from blow-by? Has this been considered and tested as well? Can the coating help reduce or even prevent baked on carbon deposits on these components? Due to emission regulations, the blow-by will always get sent back into the PCV/EGR systems to have the blow-by burnt off, but will the coating stop carbon after product from accumulating on the pistons and intake\exhaust valves as well?

Ceramic piston faces have been 'standard' in locomotive engines for years. Their idea of a 'coating' is a wafer of ceramic attached to the piston face. The entire intent is keeping compressive heating of the air/fuel mixture in the mix, and not letting the piston leach away heat. Don't recall if the cylinder walls had ceramic sleeves, but it wouldn't surprise me. Sometimes the best high-performance ideas come from ho-hum everyday things like trains or a bus. How many stops and starts every day for a bus? That needs good brakes, a solid transmission and reliable engine, right? Same with a locomotive: if they can't be run economically at 1,200+ hp, another way would be found long ago.

Thermodynamic question, so if the Piston is taking less heat, does that mean the engine will run more efficiently as the fuel is burned and more of the energy pushed and exited through exhaust? Since the heat has to go somewhere?

my hooker headers were very shiny when new . Now after a few years of use, they have lost that shiny chrome look. how can I renew that chrome look? they were ceramic coated. is there a polish or cleaner I ca use. they are off the car for a short while.

I have no issue with the fact ceramic coatings protect metal surfaces from high temperatures but that does raise a question for me thanks to the laws of thermodynamics that says "energy doesn't magically disappear". So in this case the energy is represented by the heat so where does the heat go if not through the crank. The only thing I can think of is the exhaust valves are going to have to deal with increased temperatures. So if you are going to use this coating you will have to look at modifying your exhaust valves or you may suffer excessive wear or failure.

How was the uncoated piston 90 degrees on the top and 200 degrees on the bottom when the heat was applied to the top? That’s impossible.

Only problem I see with coating pistons is whe the coating wears off what do you do constant reapply? Just doesn’t make sense on a daily burner

you guys should do the blow torch test on the headers

I've had ceramic coated headers on my car for couple years now, they don't stay looking so shiny. I got it done for the performance and under bonnet temps so thats ok but I do wonder about using ceramic coatings for engine dress up like valve covers. I imagine they would look pretty dull after time compared to polished alumnium or chrome.

So black coated headers would work better than the Chrome ones?

I thought it was a few mm thick; that is like a hi-temp spray paint that would bake on,won't do much to reduce the heat radiating out.And the pistons,you might as well make the mixture rich for a few minutes,to coat the top of the pistons,and pipes, with carbon black.

how about ceramic coatings inside exhaust ports in the cylinder head and the cylinder head dome? that would hugely increase heat dissipation and extraction

So what is the effect of not allowing the heat at the piston to transfer down into the engine? Would this not start to overheat in the head? That heat must go somewhere.

Is the polishing of the headers just for looks?

That's awesome bro.. this coating on a diesel piston would stop the piston from melting I hope

What about DIY at home ceramic coatings. I see great success with things like headers ect. I wanted to try a set of pistons on my track car but Im afraid with that much heat it will flake off. Even though its advertised as being used for piston crowns.

If powder coating is properly and fully cured, it will NOT wipe off. The fact that you used an improperly cured example to demonstrate the superiority of your ceramic , makes me distrust everything you say and do.

I agree! And he never soaked the rag again when he wiped the other products. I call BS.

Wrong! It will definitely wipe off. I apply cerakote and powdercoat both made by NIC and even NIC will tell you powdercoat is not chemical resistant like cerakote.

Not if its fully cured. You don't know what you're talking about. The place that does my powder coating, tests every piece with a strong solvent - if it's not removed, it's cured. If it's removed, it's redone.

how does the shine look after a year of use? any examples? I know the powder "chrome" looks like crap real quick if you don't coat with a clear, which reduces the luster anyway.

If done to engine case internals/pistons, how much higher of a temperature can it handle?

I would like to ceramic coat a Harley exhaust. The effect I would like to achieve is what a cadmium plated nut or bolt looks like (a dull gold multi color) Is there a way to achieve this color? Thank you and best regards.

how your customer send their parts to you? already disassembled or you do it for them and then rebuild by you?

Looks awesome, do you need to skim it off the manifold faces where gaskets go ?

Wouldnt heat bounce somewhere else ? So something else would be then getting the heat thats bouncing off the pistons ? Just curious

Most people coat the exhaust valves for this reason
