have decided to ceramic coat the bicen pipe before mounting it instead of jett hot coating. any preferances out there? | ||

where are you? | ||

oh...well, there is a guy here in columbus that does powdercoating and high-temp coating on headers...he did my drags on my shovelhead...looks great and holds up well...it's not jet-hot, it's a high-temp coating. a local drag racer has it on his car headers and still looks like new...i don't think shipping would be too much to ohio | ||

don't care about pretty. want more proformance. | ||

wraps, ceramic coatings do not hold potentially damaging heat & moisture around the part. Rather, the surface temperatures are actually reduced, extending the life of the part. When cured, a very effective corrosion inhibiting film is formed that protects the part against oxidation and imparts excellent chemical resistance that further extends part life and enhances appearance. Ceramics stand above all other thermal barrier coatings currently being used in combustion chambers. Ceramics have characteristics shared by no other product, providing an unrivaled layer of thermal protection to piston tops, aluminum heads, stainless, iconel and titanium valves. Ceramics "move" heat, reducing detonation and increasing the effective oxidation of fuel. When polished, it provides a highly reflective surface that further aids in improved flame travel. Unlike previous ceramic coatings, ours is not subject to cracking and flaking, which can lead to extensive engine damage. In fact, Ceramic coatings actually strengthen the coated part. The cured "Cermet" provides a cap of material that can withstand far more heat. During testing when sufficient heat was applied to a piston to melt the aluminum, the Ceramic did not melt, rather it held the softer aluminum together. from www.PerformanceCoatings.com | ||

Take that with a big grain of salt. | ||

Who is this guy in Columbus? How do I get in touch with him? Thanks. Mike. | ||
