@@danielmintern4070 According to their website, Camcoat applies Tech Line coating products. While they are good for their intended use, they cannot achieve the dimensional build-up (.015" or more) that our patented, proprietary Abradable Powder Coatings are able to offer.
@@Line2LineCoatings ah ok, would love to see your product on offer here in the UK. It would have come in really handy in the past to build up pistons skirts after a re hone
@@danielmintern4070, a European applicator is definitely on our list of priorities. We do have several customers in the UK who routinely send us parts, but the shipping cost is understandably a barrier to a wider market. Thanks again for your interest in our coatings!
So is piston to wall set before or after coating? I have a Honda engine being built now that we are setting up the pistons to 0.004" wall clearance. This is going to be a 10k rpm 50 psi of boost 1k+HP engine on ethanol
We recommend completing all block work before sending your pistons for coating. Having a finished bore size aids in determining a target coating thickness. There have been instances where the final bore dimension after machining was larger than anticipated, so the coated pistons would have had more clearance than was necessary. While our Rule of Thumb is to target a thickness that leaves a "coating to wall clearance" that is approximately 25% of the piston manufacturer's recommended PWC, your build is a high HP/RPM/Boost application that may call for additional clearance. Please contact the coating facility where you will be sending your pistons for additional input.
We are actively working with a licensee in Australia and hope to have them up and running soon. We will announce the opening on our website and Facebook page when it happens, so keep checking them for updates.
I've pondered skit coatings in the past, this is the first article on the subject I have seen on YT. I'll have to look into this and do a follow-up at some point.
Do we really need the annoying music for the entire length of the video?
That wasn't music.
agree🙉
Yes!! Yes, we do!! It adds horsepower, kind of like race stickers all over your car!!
We now have a music-free version on our channel: "Abradable Powder Coatings™ On Piston Skirts (No music soundtrack)"
@@Line2LineCoatingsthankyou 😊
I love the idea. What is the softening point (temp F) of this particular powder coating?
Really hope there will be a applicator in Europe soon 🙏
I think Camcoat in the UK does this coating or a similar product
We are currently bringing on our first international licensee in Australia, and have been in discussions with others for the European market.

@Line2LineCoatings thanks so much for the detailed response!
Anyone doing these coatings in Australia.

What about a cylinder that is larger on top and more narrow on the bottom?
You're fucked!

Thanks for watching! You can contact us directly at info@line2linecoatings.com if you have questions.
@@Line2LineCoatings I looked at your web site, it looks interesting.
I will keep the information handy for the future.
Whats that grey haired dude from? Was he on speed vision back in the day?
Half a billion cycles? Rookie numbers :)
I'll believe it when F1 or Nascar starts using it.
That music is way too LOUD.

No we will keep our engine whole thanks. You can keep playing with those 2 opposing inline 4 cylinders.
If my Chevy starts running like a Ford, it's going to the junk yard!!
