I am looking at the possibility of getting a few parts DLC coated for my upcoming engine rebuild (when I get my 0.5 mm OS JE high-comp pistons put in, muuuuuuuuuuuuuahahahahahah). Specifically, I was looking at having the tappets/buckets and piston pins done in an effort to reduce internal friction. Can anyone recommend or suggest a place that does good work at reasonable prices (and perhaps more importantly, will take small jobs from private individuals).



thanks in advance

 

anyone? I tried numerous Google searches and came up with very little...

 

I'm currently having my cylinders bored and moly coating applied to my JE's at a place called Bill Bune Enterprises. They are in Anoka, MN. Locally, I've heard many good things about his work. And he is only 40 minutes away from me! Can't say for sure if they'd do what your looking for. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks. BTW, I just checked his site and he offers thermal barriers and moly but no DLC. BTW, I had moly skirt coating and thermal top coat applied to my JEs also. Just need to have them put in at some point, lol

 

Don't know DLC is applied to tappets & WPs.

Cryo treatment yes but DLC like on forks and not Nikisil?

 

these guys have done some small jobs for our gas bearing projects.

They do DLC and many other PVD coatings

 

thanks
