We discussed this too a while back.
I think the consensus on here was; it don't help much as it is not
thick enough. Perhaps Archie can tell us what it does for a
piston engine.

We have ceramic coated the piston tops on Nitro, Alcohol,
and Gasoline burners. It seems to be most effective w/ gas.
The heat barrier is worthwhile in Nascar, and Drag cars.
Since I have no experience coating cast iron pistons,
the effect of coating a rotor is beyond my experience.
