Chris:
You might try ceramic coating the piston tops, the inside of the
combustion chambers and the valve faces. I talked with the Techline
coatings person a while back, and this might help compensate for as much
as 1 point rise in compression.
Dr. Moonstone at Caps Bright Hot Coatings could probably offer much more
informed advice than I--they work with this stuff regularly. Sean?
What do you think?
It's not a cheap solution, so perhaps Steve Laifman's idea about putting
them back on e-bay is best, but if Sean thinks it would work, it could
be a way of turning a lemon into some lemonade.

David Sosna
