Ceramic coated pistons

Recommended Posts

Digger 66

Just wondering if any of you have had any experiences ( in any type of rebuild situation ) with a ceramic coated piston(s) ?

I overhauled the top end of my wheeler last year to correct a piston slap / scoring issue .

I'm just wondering if anyone knew if there should be added( or reduced ) piston to wall clearance because of the thermal differences of the ceramic .

Any comments would be well received .

Thank's all .

Used to work for a diesel shop in Pittsburgh .. ceramic coated pistons were one of the main adds to increase performance of diesel engines, but I have not seen or heard of it's advantage in gas engines.

This is a good read ....
