Probably not. The rocker arm treatment is not really a coating, it's micro-REM polishing procedure. The parts end up very shiny and slippery. I might do the crankshaft with the Micro-blue treatment if I feel adventurous, and perhaps one of the Ishihara-Johnson crank scrapers might be in line too to reduce windage. We'll see what the budget will allow!
