Teflon is great for engines, on the outside, to keep them from getting dirty.

Sarcasm off.


Teflon has no business inside an ICE under any circumstance, applied hot, applied "cold", applied by magic secret processes, in a vacuum, in a clean room, using special patented process, applied disassembled, applied in the oil, All bad, no benefit. And some versions will actually damage your engine.

The people who make teflon, DuPont, who profit from it's sale, vigorously discourage its use inside any ICE under any circumstance. That should pretty much settle it.


Ceramics are a whole other ball game and might be worthwhile, albeit expensive.

I am interested in what this little engine will be used for...

Hints??
