Piston Coatings

Thermal Crown Coating

Thermal Barrier Crown Coating

Applied to the top of the piston and is designed to reflect heat into the combustion chamber, thereby increasing exhaust gas velocity and greatly improving scavenging potential. The .0015” thick coating can also assist in extending piston life by decreasing the rate of thermal transfer.
Tuff Skirt

TUFF SKIRT ® Coating

JE Pistons’ trademark coating that is a lubricating, anti-friction/anti-wear coating applied to the piston skirt only. Unlike our standard Skirt Coating, Tuff Skirt will not wear and is designed to withstand many different types of endurance applications, similar to those commonly found in NASCAR. Buildup is .0005” per surface and finished diameter of skirt should include the coating buildup.
Anodized Ring Groove Coating

Anodized Ring Groove Coating

Reduces wear and material transfer between the ring and groove. Shown to be very durable in maximum effort, high endurance applications. Appropriate manufacturing allowances apply.
KoolKote

KoolKote

Is an aerospace quality hard anodize applied to all surfaces of the piston with a buildup of .001. This coating is designed for use in nitro-methane engines such as Top Fuel Drag Racing to endure the corrosive effects of this type of fuel. It will withstand greater temperatures and will not flake, chip or peel. This coating does alter the heat transfer and expansion characteristics of the piston. Consult the JE Pistons technical department for specific applications. Manufacturing allowances are required on all surfaces.
Perfect Skirt 2

Perfect Skirt™

Perfect Skirt is a proprietary and patented skirt coating only offered by JE Pistons. Perfect Skirt is three-times thicker than traditional skirt coatings to allow racing pistons to have tighter piston-to-wall clearances similar to OEM applications. This decreases piston noise on startup and reduces cylinder bore wear. Additionally, this is beneficial for late-model engines, reducing the possibility of false knock sensor readings. Perfect Skirt will continuously conform to the shape of your cylinder’s bore.
EN Plating

EN Plating

Help reduce pitting and piston ring micro welding caused by detonation with JE’s Electroless Nickel plating. Unlike other metal plating that loses hardness and softens when exposed to heat, Electroless Nickel gets harder as it runs. The plating is applied to the piston domes, ring grooves, and wrist pin bore to provide a lower coefficient of friction, reduce ring blow-by, and increase detonation protection. In addition, Electroless Nickel reflects heat and allows domes to run up to 68 degrees cooler.
