Does the swaintech have to go into a smooth cylinder?  I have a few scores on the Exaust port side, and some chipping of the nikasil.  Will having the cylinder "Swainteched" repair the problem, or will i need to have the cylinder replated first.

'Usually' we have only coated the top of the piston crown and the dome inside the head.

I am not sure if the piston would even fit if the ceramic was sprayed directly on the nika barrel. the swain tech website lists the application thickness, but i didn't fire up the calculator to math it out!
