compression is tight and the plating refuses to wear out. Ive replaced 3 pistons and still have cross hatch pattern in the cylinder.
Their technology is far superior to the weak Kawi plating
brucegregory:
what i read is the plating is all the same no matter who does it. i did a little research on the plating because i had heard this before i read up on the process on the wikipedia and no matter what it is called it is all nickel and silicon carbide the only thing i can tell is who does it better prep the cylinder right and then the prices vary but i know us chrome does good work from what i read
greencannon:
A sled drag racer recommended Max Power to me at one time and I was quick to conclude US Chrome was the only one for me. After researching Apticote 2000 I decided to give them a try.
The performance and workmanship results were alot better than my previous experiences. Only the scientists who develop these platings will truly know if they are the same, due to trademark rights. But I can tell you when I got my cylinder back, the plating looked different, felt different and sounded a lot different during break in than the Ni stuff.
Not trying to knock anybody, just posting my experience.
