While its apart - Competition Diesel.Com

Ok I've got the rods and pistons out of my 12v. Anything I should be doing while they are out? I've already had them milled a bit.....any places to lighten? I'm sure balancing wouldn't be a bad idea...

Coating on the piston tops/skirts?

Good thought....I've seen some vendors who do this I'll search to see what I can find. Isn't it a bit pricey though?

If you got the money why not throw a cam in while it's all apart?

Well its not quite that far apart, though I suppose it wouldnt be too much more to pull the radiator and intercooler. I'll have to see how much cash I have.

Not really that much to coat each one, depending on which coating you want. www.swaintech.com

Anyone had any luck with the techline stuff?

Brandon, did you have your pistons coated?

My skirts were factory teflon coated.
