      Many OEM's use dry film coating on their pistons (and have for some time). Also, there are aftermarket pistons available with the coating as well. Sometimes the coating must be considered in the piston-to-wall clearance, depending on what the coating is and how thick it is.

          For that price....I believe I would. I assume they do this (to pistons) on a regular basis, so they know what they're doing?
