What is the benefit of the galvanic coating on the cylinder?

The galvanic coating on the aluminum cylinder helps with heat dissipation. This means the cylinder can handle heat better, which is important for engine performance and longevity.

What does the molybdenum coating on the piston do?

The molybdenum coating on the forged piston is there to reduce friction. This allows the piston to move more smoothly inside the cylinder, which can improve efficiency and reduce wear.

Do I need any special tools to install this cylinder kit?

Installation of a cylinder kit typically requires specific tools for engine disassembly and reassembly. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the correct procedures and required tools.
