there's a place in Oklahoma City that does it too, I can get the name and
number if anyone's interested.

BTW, my local American engine guru says ceramic coating of pistons etc is
good for race engines, but he doesn't like the odds of the ceramic coating
chunking off the pistons and damaging the valves.  He is all in favor of
ceramic exhaust for all vehicles!

Refute?  Anyone?

heat exposure...
