the old box on the left vs the RB25 box, quite a differance:

p.s the old skinny box is taller, wich unfortunately means having a porp made up again...

is that ceramic coating in the combustion chambers? have you tried it before, worth it in your opinion?

i usually just have the pistons ceramic/anti friction coated, would love to hear others experience with it..
