    Hey guys, I need to do a topend and want to try a moly coated vertex piston because I have this perception that it's better.....is it? My last two top ends didn't seem to last that long. Those were OEM and Wiseco. Thanks.

    I'd say try it and see how it works.

    I've never done one of their pistons, so I really can't say. I'm pretty much a WISECO guy.

    Hey ARod,

    I would stick with the Wiseco and send the piston to swain coatings and have them do a dry film coating on the skirts and ceramic piston dome coating.

    The coating on the vertex piston is just to insure a smooth break in.

    I believe the web site is swaincoatings.com

    I tried a moly coated piston in my old Yammy didn't seem to make a difference

    I'll have to agree with this.:thumbsup:

    I've used this combo a few times on some really high strung motors with good results. If you feel you need some sort of coating, this would be the way I'd go, IMO.
