The engine I just took out and tore down had what appeared to be the remains of ceramic coating on the rotors.  About 1/3 of it is gone after just 2 hours of low and medium power running.  I will take some pictures next time I am at the Hangar.  For what its worth...

Bruce will build a 0 time Renesis with porting, polish, & a bit of extra weight reduction for about $5700.00.  You can also order some custom touches (color scheme of your choice, ceramic coated rotors, etc.)  I went for the ceramic coating to see if all the hype is true or BS.

I was wondering if Tracy or someone could give a hint of what someone would have to give Bruce Turrentine for a Renesis engine conversion for aircraft service.  As was noted earlier, E-bay has a Renesis engine on bid, currently at a little over $4k.  My impression is that this is a little steep, but I am not sure where I got that impression from.

I am a ways from needing an engine, but would like to know what I am getting into.

 

Thanks,
