If you have the FM pistons, then yes, you already have the skirts coated, this helps the break-in process and also reduces friction in the long run. A tri-coating is essentially a thermal barrier coating on the crown (like you suggested the Swain Tech's Gold barrier, a Dry-film on skirts (which you already have from FM), as well as a oil shedding property coating on the underside of the piston (known to reduce knock by allowing oil to shedd faster and therefore allowing it to cool more efficiently). Swain does not list this on their site, but they offer it for Rods, I am sure you can call in and ask them to do the underside of your pistons when they do your crown. Regards, Danijel Krajisnik
