I never Buick Racer talking Engine Parts Coating. I would like to coat Some part's my self like Engine Bearings And Coat the tops and the sides of Piston. Would like to hear some feed back on these. The good and the bad. I would like to no the Products i can purchased to do it myself. I am one of those hands on People.

Is there good a nuff products out there to buy that you can do it yourself with out to much Money out to purchase or to much Equitment need to do it.
Tech line coatings. I always coat the bearings with dry film with very good success. I used the dry film on the skirts and ceramic on the piston tops of my nitrous motor. Be careful on the thickness as it tends to flake when it is put on too thick. You will want about an extra .0005 on the rods and mains before coating for build up, in my experience. This is an easy process for almost anyone, just follow directions.
Do you have to prep the pistons like Glass bead then or something else? I you Coating P bearings or H-bearings? Or you do not need to Run H-bearing if you are coating Bearing's?
The pistons need to be sand blasted with fine sand, you need to protect the ring lands, no blasting or coating in that area. I always used standard P bearings with no problem. The bearings need to be prepped with scotchbrite before the coating and everything needs to be very clean, acetone works well for cleaning.
P bearing Mains and Rods or Just Rod's? Thanks for the Info how much will 1 Quart of the Dry Film and a Quart if Ceramic go. I would Thank that i could coat Pistons and Bearings on 15-20 Engines. With a Quart of each
A quart of each would last a normal person a lifetime. I think the dry film was a 4 ounce bottle and did several engines before it dried out, I don't remember what size the ceramic was but also small did pistons for 3-4 engines with some material left over. I would buy smaller bottles to avoid waste due to drying out over time, the bottles were just plastic bottles with screw caps that didn't seal completely. I made a mistake earlier on the bearings, they were just standard clevite or michigan 77 rod and mains and TA hardened cam bearings. The cam bearings are offered with coating directly from TA last I heard, I have not used their coating so can't give a recomendation on them.
