Originally posted by Motorman I would only use ceramic on the piston crown, stay away from anything on the skirts and cylinder bore. Diamondlike (the great JP,RB secret)works well on the crankpin and wristpin though you will need to resize the bushings to compensate, and teflon benefits other areas. |
Originally posted by stefan I had very good luck with my hardchromed crankpins so far, thanks to Edwards advise.. ;) Do you find this economical? I would have thought the cost of chroming and grinding would exceed the cost of two or three new cranks. :confused: |
I pay $20 a crank..

Why would you grind them?
I give them to the plating shop after break in and the put 7-10 microns of hard chrome on the pin. |
Originally posted by stefan Why would you grind them? I give them to the plating shop after break in and the put 7-10 microns of hard chrome on the pin. I was just relating to my own experience in having a 1:1 cars camshaft journals hard chromed. In that case the chrome had to be ground to size since apart from anything else, the chrome isn't deposited evenly and also leaves little mountains and globules etc. But for only 7-10 microns, maybe the issue doesn't arise. Also, as I understand it (or don't) hard chroming is different from "normal" chrome plating - something to do with ensuring the bond between the chrome and the substrate for a working part as opposed to a "decorative part. Again, maybe there's not an issue since the depth is minimal. |
don't know about the chrome, but my cousins company has a patented hard nickel process that is in the rockwell 98 range...

Originally posted by wad Yup:D I'm using the black one:sneaky: , no problems at all:D but does that RTV silicon get hard like epoxy when dry??? i dont think so,i have never seen a silicon that can get as hard as epoxy when dry..... anyways i will check on that permatex ultra black silicon.....Thanks..Luis |
Myself and a few other use Permatex Red RTV without any problems for more than a year.
The stuff doesn't have to be hard, it has to stay put.;) |
Oh, and btw, you know what the real reson for this stuff in the JP cranks is?
JP bores out the crankshaft towards the fron (clutch) to make it lighter and the putty is used to seal that hole, or it would change gas flow and crankcase volume negatively. |
