Cylinder distortions - resulting from standard operational loads, temperature variations and assembly inconsistencies - create a loose piston fit. Piston engineers purposely size down to ensure the piston will reasonably accommodate these inconsistencies, preventing scuffing or engine lock. But this improper fit means lost output.

Abradable powder coatings fill gaps with a degradable graphite layer which wears down in the spots of greatest friction to create a perfect fit after it’s properly broken in. The perfect seal minimizes secondary motion and allows optimal compression and output. Oil Load is spread out to a much wider contact point, reducing friction and eliminating piston slap and rocking.

US Chrome has been applying APCs from Line 2 Line coatings since 2009. Our piston coating services are safe for all engines, will delay failures and reduce vibration in two-stroke, four-stroke and vintage motors of all types.
