Does anyone have any good info on this subject? I want to have the skirts and bearings all coated with a Dry film type, and the tops and faces of the valves with thermal barrier. But I'm finding companies with coatings for the cylinder walls and crap too. I'm a bit at a loss with where to start, and don't bother telling me it's not worth it, or you wouldn't do it please, unhelpful, good for you, whatever, keep it to yourself.

just put some KY jelly everywhere, I've never heard a bad story come out of doing that.

I used a PTFE coating on my race car's main bearings years ago. The pickup tube came off at about 800 foot, no oil pressure through the lights at 7k, bearings were fine. So they are pretty awesome, thanks for the link Josh.
