Everyone I have talked to have said that coating will help reduce hot spots and the chance of detonation. Cons are cost.

Thanks Phil
What if you coat chamber and valve faces and not the pistons?
Will this cause the pistons to run any hotter?

Does anyone have first hand experience with ceramic coating of the combustion chambers and valve faces?
What about coating the exhaust ports?
I have seen this as an added options when having heads built.
What find of HP do you think it is worth?
