Title: Max power plated cylinder
Post by: stroke.n.smoke on May 20, 2008, 04:43:08 PM

After a month long wait I have received my cylinder, head, and crank.  The work is good from what I can see.  They did a good job on the cylinder, chamfering all the ports.  I don't really know why they plated the entire cylinder head???  Mabye one of you can tell me.  hopefully it does something good?  Anyway, here are a couple of pictures, I have to cut a port in the piston myself, since they wouldn't do it before they  coated it.  I even sent the old piston with Stewarts mod.  They didn't send it back so mabye they are going to keep it to study and learn???

I agree, now the head cylinder and the bottom end are three different colors,  I might bead blast the bottom end and actually paint it...  I wasn't looking for HP gains in the head, I am hoping it will help save the head incase of detonation, I was having a problem with pinging but I think I have it figured out now.
