What's the whole point about putting microblue coating on piston, rings rods, cylinder liners, and rod bearings? Does it help with lifespan and have any mpg effects?

It's supposed to reduce friction and raise fuel economy due to that.
-
They do more than just coat the stuff, but yes it's supposed to help with friction and heat transfer (more or less, depending on what you want)
-
have anybody tried it yet?
-
Several people have done complete motors with it, claim astronomical results supposedly, I've never seen one with my own eyes. I know when you use their wheel bearings you have to install them differently than usual so I'm not sure how a rebuild would go.
-
Kinda curious about this as well
-
I'm also curious about microblue on rebuilt kits. Just wanna know with mpg affects and if anyone tried it yet on engines.
-
There is a member here ( Pullingtrucker ) who Micro blued his Acert with dismal results. 3 years ago when I was still over the road. I ran Micro blue wheel bearings in all positions( reefer ) and gained .75 mpg
-
I pull a reefer and have all 5 axles with MB bearings installed. I see about 0.75 mpg improvement also. But nobody believes me.
dustinbrock Thanks this. -
