I have read about that pack of coating materials, it looks extremely interesting; if I had seen it before I had bolted down the head on my LSJ project, I would have coated the combustion chambers... The square bore X stroke would be the LSJ(with its 86mm bore and stroke), but I don't feel that even a 11:1 compression 2.0L engine would make enough torque to pull my 3200# Malibu effectively, without it being boosted like in original form...

I didn't even consider the heavier crank pulley though, it's a great way to store energy in low torque applications(such as a WV four)...

Ideally, all bearing journals and cam lobes would have a friction reducing coating, the piston crowns and combustion chambers would have heat rejecting coatings to minimize the energy lost to heating up piston and cylinder head, thus maximizing the energy with each ignition stroke...
