Re: Schubek Lifters
DLC coatings are a lot like oil. There are as many different kinds as there is oil. These coatings are still in their embryoinc stages. There is coatings made for low pressure loads, high pressure loads, vapor load , non vapor loads and yep you guess it what ever you want to talk about. You talk about NASCAR. Ya cant even compare the 2. Those guys want to finish one race with as little spring pressure as you can get by with. Everything in that motor is so finely tunes, that if you pass gas near one of them and it ingest it, something will burn up cause they didnt git to test it that way. That unlimited money is to git it light and keep it together. There are good DLC companies and then there are just coating companies. So dont lump them all together and say the coating dont work. Friction coefficient can be as low as .04 and hardness can be as hard as
3500Hv. Crap now ya got me started.
