Cat c15 Sdp rebuild help

Counter bores are cut, just about to send the pistons out to get coated. The Mahle pistons I bought have Teflon coated skirts but I want to ceramic coat the bowls.

Works been insanely busy so I haven't done too much on the Pete in the last bit.

 

I'm running Mahle piston.

 

The kits I buy are from FP Diesel (Federal Mogul)

I can't find the documents I had before that explained the coating and right now all I can find online is "Magnesium Phosphate"

 

It's funny you ask this today because I just decided to get started... finally!

I stopped the guy before he cut the counter bores, i decided to work hard through summer and save my pennies and tackle it come spring. I just called the mechanic shop and booked the tow truck for tomorrow afternoon.

I dont want it half assed, I am having the block pulled out and am sending everything down to a machine shop. Crank, block, head, pistons and rods. I have finally ruled against machining my pistons and am keeping my 18:1 as I dont like machining the bowl or trimming the tops, I also dont want to buy the cat 16:1 packs as I just spent the money on mine.... I absolutely love my 18:1 with my twins so I am keeping it this way...... she lasted over 1 million before piling up the first time.

The next couple weeks will be fun!

All I needed to do was cut the bores and reinstall everything but I'm selling off all my other trucks and keeping this one so I'm gonna do it extra nice for myself.
