Features:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Provides a thermal barrier and increases both corrosion-resistance and wear-resistance<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Deters piston rings from micro welding themselves to the ring grooves and it creates an excellent adhesion surface<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Resists high cylinder temperatures and pressures and frees-up a little more power; baked-on molybdenum dry-film lubricant skirt coating adds an anti-friction anti-scuffing surface<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Increases machined clearances of about .002-inch on the piston diameter and also on the width and depth of the ring grooves to compensate for the additional build-up from the anodizing process<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Includes submerging in a detergent-acid bath, followed by two rinses before the anodizing process and three rinses after<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Adds five light coats of the moly dry-film lubricant and baked in an oven for an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diamond, who has been developing and testing their double-coat procedures for over two years, conducts all their coating processes inhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

The turn-around time for the Diamond double-coat process is about two days and the cost is $50 per piston. Single coatings, either anodizing or moly-skirt, are still available.<\/span><\/p>\n
