while I got ur attention bro I got a quick question for ya....I was going to send you a message but figured some others would like to know.....what exactly is the perks of having a ceramic piston??...I'm thinkin heat disapation and less likely to scar the sleeve..possibly help the engine last longer

lighter and runs cooler since the heat is retained less, there is less expansion also.

Eddie gave you the good, I'll give you the bad and the ugly.

It is a race class engine and can put out some extreme RPM's and power. A free wheel WOT can launch an engine.........these are the first affordable race class engines on the market......This was the (BAD)

The (UGLY) when you launch an engine, most of the time it is destroyed.......new engine time [:@]
