    One of my motorcycles came with some nitride coating on the cylinders... Do they do that for car engines too? My guess is it was for wear or friction or both.

It can also assist in extending piston life by decreasing the rate of thermal transfer.

    The skirts are also coated with a lubricating, anti-friction / anti-wear coating.

    Depending on the type of coating, it can wear but we've disassembled engines afters several years and miles and it's still in tact.

    Thank you,

    That's good to hear. I believed it was beneficial but my friend decided against it.

    I'm done for the day. Waiting for wife to get home so we can pick her Nox up at the tint shop.

    Just so you don't have to wait, front and rear covers are on. Oil pan is on. I'm glad I had nice ground straight edges. Heads are on, lifters and push rods are in. Rockers are on but not torqued down.
    Degree cam and check push rod length tomorrow.
