MillennTechnologies Introduction Nickel Silicon Carbide Coatings

[@davidfifer7414]

Fantastic keep on kickin ass always first class #1

[@rdaystrom4540]

Awesome. Wish you guys had been around in the era of all the Japanese 2 stroke street bikes of the 60s and 70s.

[@ivan868]

Like for the great music! :)

[@KevinACarter]

Is this straight silicon carbide or is there something added to help keep it in suspension?

[@jameslee2105]

nickel is used to dissolve the silicon into it .

[@ionutchirila143]

I don't see the cylinder porosity...it's normal to have small holes on cylinder plating surface? On your cylinder I don't see any holes/porosity...

[@tonyanimal1]

After you bore the cylinder wall/skim cut. Is there a specific surface finish you try to maintain for maximum bond. Would a very smooth finish opposed to rougher surface finish(20or30 to 70or80) compromise the strength of the finished product? Just curious.

[@tonyanimal1]

How long will it be until you start a nickel silicon tungsten sleeving process? Lol Jk. titanium?

[@hagenh1883]

small holes in new nikasil it is ok?

[@marklowe7431]

Very well explained. Cheers.

[@scroogehowsshehandle]

Heck yea this is where I’m sending my cylinders

[@davenawahine6934]

Is it better to have a new piston on hand to match hone it for the required or requested clearance? And Can a customs request a tighter clearance?

[@81Kush]

Nathan ambrosio here you guys are the best!!!!

[@outbackenduro7418]

After watching you would do business with them

[@makp4745]

how can we know the thermal conductivity of nickel silicon carbide

[@maxtrax89]

How do you remove the old NSC coating? Do you bore it out or just use a reverse the process?

[@TheWorldisTemporary]

I believe they hone it out with a diamond tip hone

[@Sclassmercedes]

Let me ask how much can be hone ?

[@bezed1459]

What rings are used?

[@MegaPoxie]

Just pulled down a 250 4T trail bike with low compression and has a Nicasil coated bore. The bore is as smooth as glass with no hone marks visible or scoring and don't know the history of it. When the bore is so smooth and compression rings are worn, is it toast and has to be re-plated and re-honed?

[@deeremeyer1749]

@stoeger 2 Glazed cylinders don't result in/from worn rings.

Have you heard of a product called Cerma? It too is a silicon carbide coating. The difference with this one is you add it to your oil and hold the engine speed at 2000 for a few minutes to get it to circulate, then you drive for 30 minutes. Many people are swearing by this stuff. I am not sure if it contains any nickel but this does not change the oil. This is a product that is just carried by the oil. Due to not wanting the formula stolen by his competitors John Murray does not go entirely into the chemistry of his products. His websites just give you an explanation of why silicon carbide is good for reducing wear on parts. I do not sell Cerma and I do not even know John Murray or get any payments from him. I am not a product endorser of any sort. I am just someone who has tried his products and like them. I have used the engine treatment they make and within an hour my car is noticeably quiter. I have a 2006 Jetta 2.5 and it already ran very nicely BEFORE I added his stuff. Now it is even quieter and smoother. The car has the 2.5 liter 5 cylinder engine which is kinda quick for just 150 HP (or 170 if you got later one). There are variants of my 5 cylinder engine in the TT RS and it is astounding how much power can be gotten from that little thing. Now my car is no TT RS but it is still a nice car that with 124K miles and counting has not failed in any way yet. My hope using the Cerma with its silicon carbide is to delay for a good while anything that might fail sooner otherwise. I like to look for the best greases and oils and I have gotta tell you, it is not easy!! Please reply with your opinions and any real world experiences from people who you know if any who have used Cerma products. I search the internet and of course it is full of people who are quick to call pretty much everything "snake oil". I however am willing to give these things a try if they truly do seem different. That is because my opinion on snake oil is most people who call things that have been mislead by the empty promises of Slick 50, Prolong and Z-max. They are the people who never have seen the products that really do work and that is because they only have tried the commonly available treatments in the local auto parts store and did not get much if any result. Sometimes the best things are not available locally that is why I like to order things online now aside from potentially lower prices.

[@consaka1]

What a contradiction you are. You are not a product endorser but here you are claiming it works which is the same as endorsing. lol By the way Prolong actually does work by increasing the psi of the film strength. The real question there is does it act like an acid and eat all your parts.

[@JohnDoe-gm5qr]

consaka1 Doesn't Prolong contain chlorine? I have a bottle of Prolong and never used it because I have read something bad about it. Whether or not it is true, I don't know for sure. Here is an article I found about chlorinated additives: www.qmimo.com/pages/Chlorine-in-your-engine.html

[@consaka1]

John Doe You will forgive me if I don't read your link. Couple reasons. One I am also doing other things as I write this and two I have read it all before. So nothing personal. :) The real question is not whether or not it is chlorine based but whether or not it actually ACTS like normal chlorine that everyone knows and loves or whether like the makers of Prolong claim as a derivative, Prolong does not create a engine damaging component on degradation. Oil testers of the most unbiased types have confirmed that it increases the oil film strength. Some of those same guys also do not advocate using it or ANY oil additives. The claim being that no additives are needed if you use a good oil.

[@norberthofer5830]

I put an oil additive called Cermatech in my BMW engine once. Seemed to work great. Engine idles a little faster, ran cooler and better fuel mileage because of the reduced friction but after that the engine started burning oil. Can't be 100% positive the oil caused the oil burning but it never seemed to burn oil before I used the oil additive.

[@bstevermer9293]

Great video, how do you get the plating to just stick the the inner bore?

[@deeremeyer1749]

Don't ask good questions like that.

[@TheWorldisTemporary]

Hey talks about it . They use an electric charge while it’s dipped in the nickel and I guess that’s what makes it stick
