Ceramic coating the header pipe (Read 13 times)

Do you think it would be wise to wait until I need to bore the cylinder out, or just go ahead and hot rod it? I would like to give this bike to my son (Godwilling, 20 or so years from now ). Thanks!

I guy in Kodak,TN coated mine, still looks great.
If rubbin Blue Away vs. coating = more ride time, that's for me.

Hey folks,

Did a 7000 day search on "ceramic"...

...came up with brake pads and a little bit of ceramic paint...

Thinking about getting my header pipe ceramic coated, inside and out as I would like to reduce the engine temp a bit. Does anyone foresee any problems with this, suck as too low an oil pressure? Also, I would then not be afraid to run header wraps, for looks. A major problem with header wraps, to my understanding, is that they can rust the heck out of the header... not good.

Thanks for any input,

K

Lancer,

let me ask you this...

Do you think it would be wise to wait until I need to bore the cylinder out, or just go ahead and hot rod it? I would like to give this bike to my son (Godwilling, 20 or so years from now Wink

).

Thanks!

If it was mine, it would depend on the milage on the engine and any other wear and tear issue's in the engine. If it is not high milage and runs good I would just leave it. If it is high milage and/or has mechanical problems now or over the horizon then I would go ahead and do the rebuild.
