These parts were shown to me last week by a certain individual who is planning an out of the ordinary drag engine build they were all coated and came up a treat, the engine will be driven hard and then torn down to assess the wear on the coated parts.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

quite possibly the dark grey "paint" is a wettable moly based coating designed to keep oil on surfaces that need oil.And its hard to tell but looks like it may have some kind of coating on the crown also but they can be almost undetectable.

isn't the rattle can black just to show where the wear is. eg: comes off easy to expose areas or am I not reading the first post right?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
