Epoxy baked moly coat for pistons
I went for it and bought a quart of epoxy moly coat for pistons.:) The company provides the same stuff to Chrysler for V8 pistons, etc.
Coated a pair of Wiseco 56CID OMC Looper pistons, 2 for my C service Speeditwin resto and the 4 Wisecos for my Classic sandcast Quincy D MOD. They came out GREAT. :eek: :D
The speeditwin pistons were pretty nasty looking after being in hurricane IVAN flood and this stuff really spiffed them up.
So out of a quart I've used about a quarter inch. It has to be kept in a freezer and is good for about 4 months. I have the MSDS if you want to read it. So if you have some pistons you want coated call me at 850-623-1197 and we can set up something. I'll work cheap ($10.00 per? U pay shipping - -) if you send me CLEAN parts. Most of the work is in masking. I will post some pictures tomorrow of the ones I did. BILL

Re: Baking pistons in the wife's oven
I made the mistake in the early 70's of prepping for paint/cleaning a set of ZAK pipes in my wife's new oven we had just bought that had the self cleaning feature. I figured if it would remove baked on grease/spatters etc. that it would certainly remove baked on castor oil from the interior of the pipes while removing the paint from the exterior. It did a really nice job, the only problem being the smell left in the kitchen and other areas of the house for the next month or so of burning castor.I thought it smelled great as did some other boat racing friends, but not everyone was as enthused about it, including Eileen.
That was almost as good of a move as buying her a vacuum cleaner for our first Christmas together after we were married. You would think after two previous wives I would have learned something about women and how they feel about "personal" gifts at Christmas and other special occasions. WRONG!!
We have now been married 37 years and I am a little smarter than I once was as far as men/women relationships are concerned. Not much, but some.
She did appreciate the new sporting clays 12 GA I bought her a couple of years ago. She has kicked my butt several times with it too. Maybe she has mellowed a little also, or we both have learned a little over time.
