[QUOTE="Satyr, post: 10730471, member: 32040"] From what I found from some of the PC websites and through other forums, there are various types of PC. Initially, a lot of the first PC mediums were thermal insulating, and yielded a thicker coating. Recently, lots of new technologies have come out with the coating powders, including thin mediums (that usually scratch pretty easily). These would not retain as much heat. Regardless, it is a popular ideal that PC parts like that are a bad idea. Whether it was a spread of bad information or not is debatable, but there are a LOT of posts that correlate PC and heat. See below. Here's a link from an actual tech-site, with the important part highlighted, below: "The question keeps coming up about doing cylinders and cylinder heads. I have seen it done, but I would never do it to one of my own. I would STRONGLY advise NOT to coat these. You want to dissipate heat, not retain heat by putting an insulator over it! . Powder coating can be a great thermal and electrical insulator." [url]http://my.execpc.com/~davewrit/Powder.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
