Polishing And/or Ceramic Coating
#11
Hey GMON,
is it too much trouble to ask you for a rough rundown of the process you used to do that? i've been trying to get some information in the last few weeks but it doesn't seem like many know or care to share on polishing rotors.
if it's too much, i understand, but if it's not ... then just a list of stuff would suffice, i'm sure i can figure out what to do.
actually i just noticed that you're in Minneapolis ... check your PM.

i've been using ceramic stuff on exhaust ports, piston domes, and combustion chambers on turbo race motors for about 2 years now. It makes a big difference on how the turbo performs. It spools faster and holds heat better. For a NA motor, its a waste of time and money especially for the street

Here is one of my polished rotors for the bridged sixer
Will the flakeing have any ill effects ??? I doubt it but just checking...

Your fine, I did the dish on mine as well as clearenced where the dish starts. On S4 they differ quite a bit. I then made each rotor the exact same weight by taking the same ammout from each corner. I think what your calling "flaking" is just some discoloration. I never noticed anything that could "flake" on the surface.
Good luck

yeah ... that looks like discoloration. unless the rotor was not cleaned well and there's some carbon residue left, there should be nothing to flake.
i noticed that while i was polishing my rotors, i'd get some discoloration on some occasions when my oily fingers touched the surface - not sure why, but so it seemed. maybe that's what happened there.

I saw the difference on a static balancer after ******* with one of my test rotors.
Maybe nothing but FYI.
