Bob, if hope you're not offended if I tell you you're my Monolith! I assure you it's a compliment.<BR/><BR/>(*From the novel, The Monolith was delivered to a prehistoric earth by an advanced alien civilization in order to "bootstrap" the cavemen's primitive brains and encourage them to evolve to meet their potential. The Monolith filled the caveman's brain with confusing new thoughts and introduced such concepts as tool usage, rational thinking and planning.)<BR/><BR/>I've read through this magnificent blogpost a couple times and am feeling inspired to experiment with these coatings on my next engine. In the past, I had dismissed coatings, in general, as Snake Oil (been burned too many times by overstated benefits and "technical" articles in the magazines that are but advertisements wearing thin disguises); learning that you've had positive experiences with these coatings is certainly encouraging!<BR/><BR/>This blog is the most amazing source of aircooled information. I hope you know how much you're appreciated. <BR/><BR/>best regards,<BR/>JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
