I have been hearing about the process for a few years now but I am unable to find shops or engine builders that are using it.
The idea as I read it is that it adds strength to the surface and the part itself as well as cutting down friction on bearing, rings, piston, liners cranks or whatever part is treated. up to 25% less friction. Anyone have any input to the quality or the result you have experienced using this: http://www.wpctreatment.com/ or a like process. I am very close to trying it and just cant pull the trigger on some race motor parts without some real world feedback. |

if info-mercial products are really as advertised, they will, by popular demand, hit the main stream. products like oxy clean, george foreman grill are now sold everywhere because they do as promised. products like the ron poepeal bald head instant hair spray are not found in mass distribution. (cause I bought it all)
