O know there has been a few threads on the subject but the best one i can find thats the least bit definitive hasnt been touched since 2004, i didnt really feel like bringing that thread back from the dead so...

I am im the process of having several hot section components ceramic coated, i also want to have several other engine parts powder coated, compressor, uim, lim, tb, front cover, water pump housing, alternator, etc.

So the real question im wanting a verdict on is, the rotor housings. can it be done or is it recomended i have several engines i can use as donor or test subjects. responses are appreciated. Technical or suggestive, personal experiances good/bad anything that might help me draw a conclusion on this subject.

engine is a 2nd gen 13bt

 

I've powdercoated my entire shortblock myself , housings, irons, front cover & oil pan even tension bolts ( just take a look in my album). you just have to make sure not to coat any mating surfaces, so alot of masking is involved. I've haven't had a problem and this motor has been in my car for 4 years. The motor looks real noice when it was out of the car but since its been in the car you really can't see it, unless your changing the oil.

 

cool im glad to see that somebody else is into this idea, did you send it out to be done or did you do it yourself. thanks for the feedback

 

I did it all myself it was alot of work but worth it, even though no one can really see it.
