Sharif...Don't get pissed, but could you break the camera out for a
shot of the mains? Yeah, I know you don't have time, but you showed
us everything else...Please????
Also, do the Arias Extreme Duty Pistons come with coatings already
applied and if so, on the crown and side skirts? Were yours coated
as I know these pistons we manufactured a while ago if you have
25K on them.
Thanks!!!!!!! and say hi to your father for me please.

Here is a quote from that article:
Thermal barrier coatings are typically about .001" to .003" thick, and help protect the pistons in supercharged or turbocharged drag racing engines, or ones that run on short bursts of nitrous oxide. Nitrous produces a tremendous amount of heat in a very short time, which can be very damaging to unprotected pistons. But a barrier coating also prevents heat from dissipating down into the pistons and rings, which may be counterproductive if the heat persists for a long period of time. That's why several piston manufacturers do not recommend a thermal barrier top coating on pistons for naturally aspirated engines (without nitrous) or ones that are built for endurance racing. On these kind of applications, you're probably better off without it.
