A few days after posting the original message, I did a search for the name
of the company Dave identified. Found it! Problem is, I don't remember any
of the details and I don't know how to get the info out of the computer. On
top of that, I don't have time right now to duplicte my efforts. If you
can't find it, let me know and I'll try again when I have more time.

Hey Bill and Roger:
Thanks for the link and the site info. I did a quick scan and this
looks like some really neat stuff. They guy with the site sounds like
he really likes this ceramic coating. I need to talk with him and find
out what kind of life expectancy this stuff has (wouldn't do to have to
re-coat the piston tops and combustion chambers every 30,000 miles! :)),
but the idea of running a higher compression ration, cheap gas and no
pinging sounds too good to be true. (This wasn't posted April 1, was
it?)
Regards
David Sosna
