[QUOTE="jaguar, post: 1441558, member: 19340"] [IMG]http://www.dragonfly75.com/moto/images/IntakeGuide.gif[/IMG] It turned out that by accident I had an oil/fuel ratio about half of what it should of been. But still I don't think it would of seized without the ceramic coating. The ceramic coated piston now takes longer to heat up but also takes longer to cool down. It still reaches the same maximum temperature because the top underside of the piston is still becoming black. (I know that means its slightly lean but that gives it the best power and my highway runs at top speed are no longer than a few minutes.) To solve that problem I've put a "channel" inside the pistons underside to route the incoming fuel charge up to the underside of the piston crown where most of its heat is. I've made it out of an aluminum beverage can and connected it to the piston skirt with a screw and nut. I'll post photos later. In a few days I'll try it out when I receive the new rings for my newest piston (oversize) which I've had coated with Swain Tech's thickest ceramic coating (50% more than before). The drawing above shows what I am talking about. ps- This post started out in the mods/performance forum and was wrongly moved here to the frame cutting forum. I protest! If this isn't a mod-performance post then I don't know nothing. [/QUOTE]
