Default Re: Carbon on plugs and piston tops

I believe Ronnie was likening the carbon buildup on a flathead piston and its attendant heat rejection qualities to the more recent application of modern coatings on pistons of later model engines.
Both serve a useful purpose as long as the carbon layer doesn't get too thick and cause interference problems or preignition.
