I am not a builder or and assembler. Here is a logical question to think about. Isn't powder coating cured under very high heat? To me that would make the powder coated cylinders more resilient to heat, trapping the heat inside the cylinder easier and longer, as well as not alllowing the outside cool air to do its job cooling down the cylinders because of the powder coating. No???!

In theory, yes. You have one more layer on the cylinders.

 

But when the engine is running the main cooling system is the coolant circulating,

 

That's why i want numbers. How many more deg F are we talking?

 

Sleeper said he did tests but didnt give any numbers.

My spread sheets are on my wife's old iPad . I don't get much opportunity to race anymore , I'll get back to it once kids are squared away in college. My test subjects were two identically built 4 mill stock cylinder motors which were ran on gas for two seasons then switched to alky. I get every motor is different the pc coated cylinder ran 15 deg hotter at the end of 1/4 mile pass and took dbl the time to cool down . Not a big deal in a race platform . I have little to no testing in a trail bike but I do push paint over powder to my customers

I didn't post my comment to start a fluid dynamics war just kinda an FYI pice of info. I've ran and built many bikes with pic cylinders with no issues its just personal opinion to my customers

Not a war at all. Thx for the info.

U use Banshee to go to store for beer

Nice hun?? ;-)

 

Seriously,i need 'real life' numbers to match theory Jt. Theory and practice should always match.If not, you got to figure it out.

 

I trust my computer, as an example, i wrote 'John Tabata' in the input box and the prog said: Gay!

 

So it cant be wrong.
