Andy from Line2Line Coatings with an inspection of a piston that ran in an 1800hp 632 CI Nitrous Mountain Motor built by Chris Holbrook. The pistons were coated by Line2Line in 2016 and sent back to them in late 2023 for recoating.

So i need to have hone/ bore done. Get those numbers before sending you my pistons, or on a new build with oversized piston, can i have pistons Coated before going to Machine shop to save time.

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 ran a 1400 horsepower turbocharged 414 cubic inch small block Chevy and I do a lot of drag and drives with this engine in 1.5 years I have put about 100 passes on the engine and 8,200 Street miles before removing the cylinder heads to freshen up valve springs and gaskets I noticed there are some white scratches in the cylinders that may need two or three tho to clean up would your coding be a good choice to do on something that gets Street miles along with drag racing at the power level that I'm at?

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.

Would a lower HP Street use engine benefit say 700hp na no boost? Has there been any testing on how many hours the coatings last?

@Line2LineCoatings Ай бұрын

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.

How much thickness are you able to safely add to a standard 4" piston?

@Line2LineCoatings 4 ай бұрын

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?

@Line2LineCoatings 4 ай бұрын

@@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.

Anybody ever run this coating on lifters?

@Line2LineCoatings Ай бұрын

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.
