Hello All
I am thinking about having the pistons coated, specifically the heads. I know they do this for racing engines, but they also tear down said engine after every race.
This is a certified IO-360 in process of being rebuilt. All the parts have been inspected and certified within limits. The pistons have some head scarring, but again they were deemed OK. So, since I do not want/have to purchase new ones now, I thought it may be worth trying. I know if I do this it will no longer be "certified", but if I worried about that I wouldn't be building my own airplane.
Do any of you have any experience with engine coatings?
Thanks,
