There is a company here in Tampa that coats them. now for the draw back...You have to take in count the thickness of the coating. Nissan makes a dozen types of engine bearings. We have to order one of every size and test fit them in our blocks. Long process!!

Other than the NISMO race pump for $$$$, Any ideas on blue printing or upgrading internal rotor

That's a lot of money in RND and pray to god we get it right!

We put the engine, Crank , bearings , rods and hardware into the cryo machine.
