Im doing this myself, for the most part any diy’r can tackle it. When you get to things like building up a piston skirt is when it takes more of a professional, regardless the process is simple... 1) etch the parts with 120grit aluminum oxide blasting media, NO GLASS BEADS! 2) throughly clean with acetone 3) bake at 450°f for 1 hour to burn off any residual oil and acetone 4) mask off what you dont want covered and apply coating with an airbrush 5) cook at 350°f for 1 hour to cure
Im using techline coatings cbx for the piston tops/ cylinder head, valve faces and back of ex valve, and also the turbochargers turbine. The exhaust port, manifold, and turbine housing will be internally coated to keep as much heat in the exhaust as possible.
Piston skirts, main and rod bearing, thrust bearing, cam lobes and bearing, tappets all getting ceramic dry film lubricant.
This isnt for our vm 2.8, but a mechanical isuzu 2.8 diesel.
