ceramic engine coating
The engine was built from a new bare GM Performance Parts LS2 engine block to take advantage of its larger 4 00-inch bore but the rest of the external dress was standard Camaro LS1 These cars have nothing to gain from a ceramic coating These soaps are the safest to use because they're so mild It costs money to look after your coating
Polymer Coatings Engine Bearings And The Science Behind Them
Jan 16 2018Coatings prolong bearing life when operating with very thin or negligible oil films " says King's Performance Technical Manager Ron Sledge "However the true potential and benefits of coatings are quite underestimated They can play a much more important role in preventing seizure and reducing wear of highly loaded bearings "
LikeNu Polymer Concrete Resurfacing Paint!
LikeNu is a water based cementitious-acrylic coating Others advertise that they are water-repellent but they are actually water-resistant Water-resistant coatings slow water absorption but do not form a water impermeable barrier Products using oils soaps or waxes are short-lived because they evaporate washout or wear away

Spark Plug Color
Mar 06 2019Glazing appears as a yellowish varnish-like color This condition indicates that spark plug temperatures have risen suddenly during a hard fast acceleration period As a result normal combustion deposits do not have an opportunity to "fluff-off" as they normally do Instead they melt to form a conductive coating and engine misfire will
