has your friend had any trouble? the shop has coated,the bores, pistons,heads,valves,they say it will give me more power,less heat! all this has been with a lower engine rebuild kit i colleted from JDM. i hope this will give me a nice strong engine. getin fed up with chaging engines as this will be number 3

George I wasn't aware you could coat the bores too???
This might cause a problem bedding down the rings.

Anyway you don't want to keep swapping motors but you could patent a quick release engine kit

And you beter watch out cos there's two JDM powered 'L's looking to fry your *** and there both RED.
