Piston Coating

Piston Coating — Thermal & Friction-Reducing Coatings for Performance Pistons

Ken's Kustom Chassis carries professional-grade piston coatings engineered to improve performance, reduce friction, and extend the life of your pistons in high-output engine builds. Piston coatings are a cost-effective upgrade that can make a measurable difference in power output, heat management, and engine longevity.

What We Carry:

Thermal barrier coatings for piston crowns
Skirt coatings for friction reduction and scuff resistance
Anti-friction dry film lubricants
Coatings compatible with forged and cast pistons

Why Coat Your Pistons?

Thermal barrier coatings on the piston crown reflect heat back into the combustion chamber, improving combustion efficiency and reducing heat transfer to the piston. Skirt coatings reduce friction and protect against scuffing during cold starts and high-load operation — especially important in tight-clearance performance builds.
