Exclamation Ceramic Coatings .......AGAIN!!

I did some searches and found a lot of info on the subject , but no "real world " accounts of its effects on a rotary , anyone out there with experience on the subject as it relates to a rotary ?. I am seriously thinking of getting this done , that is the faces of my rotors , I.D. and O.D. of my exhaust manifold , the turbine housing and maybe even the turbine wheel .
My main concern would be the extra combustion chamber heat promotimg detonation (??) , but I use water injection and my system can supply very large amounts if required , I saw a 400 degF drop in my exhaust temps once !!, so I'm sure I would have some control of how hot things get .
As usual your opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated .

The ceramic coating helps with detonation. Instead of all that heat being ubsorbed into the rotor, it is pushed out from the ceramic.

ceramic coating is good stuff. My parts supplier is the only one in the world exclusively offering ceramic coated rotor engine parts. Same stuff used in the 787B.

Reduces rotor housing cooling load by 25%

reduces rotor cooling requirements by over 40%

pm me if you want more info

It acts as a thermal barrier from all I have read. In Texas we think of that as an "ice chest effect" But most of us don't how those foam thingies keep the beer cold on hot days as long as they knows it's supposed to be cold
