$900 invested.
Selling for $550
They are 9.0:1 compression and 84mm bore. They have a Dish top. Included are JE rings for Turbo and pins. These pistons are brand new. The pistons have been coated by Swain. I had them coat the tops with their Gold Coat and the skirts with the Polly Molly coating.
Information about Gold Coat
TBC™ (thermal barrier coating) is most commonly applied to the top of the piston and to the combustion chamber and valve faces in the cylinder head. TBC™ holds more heat in the chamber, instead of letting it dissipate through the piston, valves, and head (where it is then absorbed by the cooling system). This increases cylinder pressure and pushes harder on the piston, resulting in more power. TBC™ also protects pistons from intense heat, so the air/fuel mixture can be leaned for maximum power without burning through the piston. And, since the amount of heat radiated into the rest of the engine is reduced (by containing the heat in the chamber), the operating temperatures of the engine come down. This is also beneficial to the piston rings, improving their radial tension and sealing ability. TBC™ is also used on intake and exhaust ports to improve scavenging and lower the under hood temperature. It also is used on the underside of intake manifolds to keep hot oil from elevating the intake charge temperature.
Information about the Polly Molly coating
Low friction coatings, also known as dry-film lubricants, are split into two types: self-lubricating and oil-shedding. The self-lubricating type of dry film is applied to piston skirts, engine bearings, valve springs, valve stems, camshaft lobes, wrist pins, and oil and fuel pumps – just to name the engine related parts. Swain Tech has specific formulations for each type of friction. Poly Moly™ and PC-9™ are used for sliding friction and Peko Poly Moly™ is for rotational friction. These materials hold oil on the surface of the part and have a very low coefficient of friction. Applied to a piston, the dry film reduces piston to cylinder bore friction, which also reduces bore wear.
This costs $48 per piston Plus shipping.
