Sadly no. This car doesn't have any sort of temperature gauge. Well, now that I'm rebuilding the engine I'll install an oil temperature and a cylinder head temperature gauges. So I won't be able to compare. All I'll have to go by is that the normal operating temperature should be between 300° F and 350° F CHT. So if it's lower that would be a sign the thermal barrier ceramic coating is working.
As far as the thin film lubricating coating goes, I'm skeptical that it really helps too. But I though, why not.
