I know it sounds crazy, but I've seen this stuff work. There is now a push to get these "coatings" in all gear boxes and drive assemblies at the nuke plant where I work because oil analysis has proven that the amount of metal wear is significantly reduced. Efficiency is up, heat is not an issue and longevity is 5 time longer than previous maintenance history. I was thinking about having my ring and pinion coated and going to a lighter weight rear diff oil. I am also considering having all the brake guide pins done ... |

Seems like cost will play a greater and greater part in performance mods as technology gets more sophisticated. There's also proof that cryo treating highly stressed parts like gears etc., also increases durability. Add the cryo and the coating costs and you have very durable, very expensive parts. Guess it all comes down to racer's rule #1- "How much do you want to go fast?".
