I also believe strongly in facts as backup to statements. As a matter of interrest Honda are using anti-friction coatings on some of their production engines. One engine in particular runs a cast aluminium piston on a bare aluminium bore with no ceramic or chromium based bore lining. The engine to which I am most familiar with is a motorcyle power plant for the CBR 919 RR Fireblade. This machine has a specific out put in excess of 100bhp/ litre of engine displacement. It has so far in my limited experience had no major engine failures due to this construction.
