Anybody got any opinions on this?

Is this a reasonable preventative method of protecting against detonation without going mad and buying forged pistons?

Any opinions gratefully recieved

My actual concern is in the heat dispertion theory, surely is it much better for the piston to allow the combustion heat to travel away into the block and cooling jackets. Insulating the crown will retain heat and surely increase the risk of det?

Make any sense?

Thanks for the replys so far

Hi again

Thanks for your help. After reading your comments and a bit more research into the thermal dynamics aspect I have decided to go ahead with the ceramic coating.

It should offer the pistons a bit of protection while the fueling/ignition+boost is set up and piece of mind for myself in the future.
