Just a thought, they are using ceramic coating on the tops of pistons and
cylinders why couldn't the same be done on the housings.
http://www.maxpower-engines.com/apticote.htm  Just a thought. Also how can I
get past news letter information not listed on the web site?
Thanks,

The thing that runs the red flag up my flag pole on this
company is they claim to "plate" ceramic. Ceramic as I know
it is a non conductor. Consequently their web site sounds like
a lot of BS to me.

As I said nothing on that site made me want to believe them.
There is a total lack of technical information.
It is like saying they "coated" the cylinder bores with metal.
There are a zillion compounds of ceramic and the conducting  ceramics that
perhaps could be plated don't sound suitable for wear surfaces.

Besides, nobody in their right mind would try something like that without
knowing somebody else that ran it successfully for 1000 hours or more
in a rotary engine. It is plain dumb to go down that road.  

Ceramics coatings are the new happy hunting ground for scam artist
as their claims are difficult to disprove without extensive testing.
