Re: [T3] CR heaven..... or is it?????

<x-charset iso-8859-1>So, would ceramic coating the pistons and heads and valves and intake and
exhaust help?  There are several types of coatings, to pull heat, contain
it, anti-friction coatings, etc. so putting this into the mix could allow
one more CR w/less heat into the engine (remove the need for external oil
cooling).  Just speculatin'

...Heat Kills. Outside temps do effect an air-cooled engine as 
does a high compression engine. Squash and swirl is great for combustion... 
all physics, but heat is a by product of it all. Street fuel is crap and
will 
get worse.  After market fuel additives are not worth much, they are a sales

gimmick more than anything else. That is the fact not to loose sight of.
Heat 
is the end reason that people have to use remote oil cooling systems...
