The science and complexity of today's miracle coatings is probably beyond what could be explained in a website, let alone a small library. What is important to know is that there are significant performance gains to be made by using these coatings, and PRO-KOTE INDY can help you determine the right choice for your needs. These coatings are VERY affordable for the average street rodder or budget racer...they're not just for big-buck race teams anymore! Call us to discuss your engine build-up and how we can help you. We're day-to-day hot rodders and have been building engines and using coatings for many years.
The most popular coatings used for internal engine parts fall into the 3 categories explained below. This is the "short-list"...there are many more specialized coatings available for nearly any situation. Some coatings fall into more than one category.
DRY FILM LUBRICANTS
Dry Film Lubricants reduce friction, galling, and scuffing, thereby reducing temperature and increasing power. PRO-KOTE INDY applies and oven-cures the following coatings to your parts:
DFL-1.....The choice for main & rod bearings
CermaLube.....For piston skirts, cam lobes, and gears
TLML.....For valve springs and other flexing parts
TLMB.....For high loads, build-up of piston skirts
THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS
Thermal barrier coatings reduce parts temperatures through the magic of Metallic Ceramics. These coatings will NOT affect any specified clearances.
CBC2.....Piston heads
CBX.....For coating pistons in engines running
high compression, nitrous oxide, turbo or
supercharging
TLLB.....An amazing lubricated thermal barrier
that SHEDS oil! Specifically used on
bottoms of intake manifolds, windage
trays, crank scrapers, connecting rods,
and crankshaft throws. Frees up lots of
power!
BENEFITS of COATINGS
- Increases horsepower & torque
- Increases lubrication protection
- Reduces friction and wear
- Reduces temperature of parts
- Increases combustion chamber efficiency
- Reduces detonation
- Oxidizes fuel more efficiently
- Helps carbon shedding
- Keeps heat longer in combustion chamber
- Disperses heat from critical parts
- Reduces corrosion and damage to parts
- Reduces fuel separation & drop-out
- Increase port and exhaust gas velocity
- Extend life of parts
THERMAL DISPERSANT COATINGS
These coatings reduce temperatures by rapidly dispersing heat away from the component. They reduce "hot-spots" by distributing heat evenly, and aid in cooling heat sensitive parts. Again, PRO-KOTE INDY applies the films and carefully oven-cures your parts.
TLTD.....For intake manifolds, brake components,
oil pans
The coating designations DFL-1, CermaLube, TLML, TLMB, CBC2, CBX, TLLB, and TLTD are products and trade-names of TECH LINE COATINGS, INC., and are applied by PRO-KOTE INDY, LLC
