Machining Services Piston Skitt PISTON SKIRT COATING Piston skit coating is becoming the norm in the performance racing world and has many benefits Problem: Power can be lost through heat and friction caused by the motion of the pistons in the cylinders. Piston movement also causes scuffing Advantage: Coat the piston skirts with a permanent sold film lubricant Pistons are in constant motion while the motor is running. itis very important that it moves up and down as efficiently as possible, especially in today's performance engines. The piston skirt helps guide the piston as it moves in the cylinder and plays an important role in keeping wear and friction to a minimum, us10282016 RACE TRACK AIDS SEALS SUSPENSION VIEW ALL BRANDS, Patterson Racing Inc eipshwwrpatlerson-elite-comipiston-skirt-cating! Piston Skit Costing Piston skirt coatings were developed at the end of the 1960s to reduce friction and scuffing. For high-performance engines with aluminum blocks a iron coating is used. There are a number of benefits of skrt coating’ Benefits of piston skirt coating: Frees up horse power normaly lost to friction. Provides back-up lubrication if the primary lubrication has gone Reduces wear which increases engine life Meet the demands of high revving, short piston skirt and long rod motors Reduces heat that can cause galling and seizing Produces tighter piston-to-wall clearance The coating provides @ permanent solid film lubricant for this type of application. It can handle temperatures well over 2000" Fis water based, contains no solvents soit has no hazardous fumes. Its a high pressure lubricant and requires no clearance changes to compensate for the coating Following are the steps in the coating process: Process Clean the pistons Oil, dirt, debris and all other surface contaminants must be completely removed. If the surface is not propery cleaned, the coating can bead or bubble during baking Spray coat The spray pressure must be set just right. If the pressure is too high, the coating goes down flat and rough. If too low an ‘orange peel’ effect results and the coating may ball up during baking. The nozzle size must be adjusted so the spray comes out evenly without droplets and to avoid the film from being too thick on the part ey10282016 eipshwwrpatlerson-elite-comipiston-skirt-cating!

You can bring in your own pistons or better yet have us supply them so we can make sure to find the best ones for your high performance needs. We can request the manufacturer to make them to the right specifications including compression ratio, compression height and bore size for your block. We recommend using Total Seal rings for optimum clearance & better sealing aa10282016 Piston Sket Coating JOIN OUR MAILING LIST for special offers!
