Default ceremic coating - cool update

I would guess you'd have to have brand new sleeve and piston that was pre-coated with ceramic. You couldn't just coat your existing sleeve and piston, otherwise the fit would be way too tight... right????

It would be excellent if an after market company or even OEM company made these sleeves for like say the hyper 8 port! I would try it.
I know in the case of snowmobiles that you just coat the top of the piston and the head. You don't coat the cylinder. The coating gives protection from lean runs and allows you to tune closer to the edge with less chance of a melt down. I have had www.swaintech.com coat pistons from snowmobiles before.
