Need a teflon job done

[nixoid]

I'm re-doing the top end on a motor and want to decrease friction in a few key areas and was looking for a shop that could induce teflon into my cam, wrist pins, and rings.

Anyone have a line on this type of service? Post up if you do.

Not sure that makes sense TFE very weak and soft.

Very thin industrial hard chrome plating then mirror polish would be nice. Chrome directly on steel not copper-nickel-chrome like bumpers. Thick chrome can peel off and do bad things.

Racing this coming year?

the most effective friction reduction treatment out there is molybdenum disulphide.
the reason is that moly is not a seperate entity like oils and teflons, it bonds itself to the metal at a molecular level, and is considered an 'extreme pressure' lubricant

some pistons come with moly skirts, and most engine assembly lubes are high in moly content

Do a google search on ... Slick50 AND Lawsuit

Teflon has its place, not on hot metal that has pressure wear.

Hold the throttle open longer and brake later.

TFE is used in racing applications. It is a proven method of friction reduction. I just don't have the name of any shops that do it. I'm trying to stay away from plating to keep within tolerances. trying to do a "stock build" with a little flair....

Did you look into Calico Coatings?

They do Teflon work but there are no descriptions I can decipher from their site I will contact them thanks for the heads up.

I'm doing something completely different - 650 mile endurance race on open streets - no slicks, extra seat cushion maybe....

I am sure it would help with 1 race especially to permit full power without break in

I just think it disappears in minutes

I think jet hot does engine coatings. It's usually for heat control, but it does have some durability/friction benefit as well.
