Rotor coating

[minichopper6hp]

So, i was cleaning off a pair of rotors for spartangl, and these were 65k rotors. They were in good shape, no nicks or anything. I soaked them in a hot soapy water solution for 30 min, came to check on them and this is what i found. No chemicals were used in this process. Also, no tools other then my hands were used in this process. I want to point out that all the guys saying water meth is to blame are probably wrong. Like i was telling everyone before, the factory coating is flawed, they just didnt prep it correctly. Enjoy.

Wow! thanks for sharing.

ive always said that water/meth/alky doesnt kill the rotors...

How do you figure? Looks to me more like water IS the problem.

My wife would be pissed if i was doing that in the sink!! Thanks for the info though. Just wondering what you use to recoat the rotors the Correct way?

People were saying that the methanol was eating the rotors. This is different.

Soap has chemicals, unless your strictly using animal lard

Well im sorry i didnt mention that, lol. If you want to get technical here thats fine. I was simply stating my results. If you cant trust your rotor coating to hold up to a little dawn, I would not be running it on my motor. Thats what i was trying to get at here.

I agree with you... however my rotors were perfect when I pulled my 02 sc around 120k. I wonder if the rotors were outsourced to a different group by gm... so some are crappy, some aren't. But then again, things like living next to an ocean could also be a factor.

[minichopper6hp]

These were perfect as well. Not a nick on them. I'm saying that no matter what, they weren't prepped right. This proves it. Hands down. I can see a chip here or there, but the ENTIRE coating came off in full pieces. Clearly flawed.

I need some dish detergent that works that well on dishes.

Thanks for sharing the info.

question at hand. how do you go about fixing something like this mini??

[minichopper6hp]

I recoat the rotors with a lifetime coating.

The rotors are to blame.

They are cast, machined to tolerance, and then coated with a nice smooth glass like surface still being on the rotors. The coating has nothing to bong to because the surface is not prepped right. You know how you have to break the gloss finish with sand paper before you can paint it? Same thing here, in this case, no prep work was like painting unetched glass.

Eaton knew it...and GM knew it. They changed their method of production, application, and material used when they created the GenV. They knew they effed up...too late now ya know.

Some got a good bond, some did not.

Blowing nitrous through the rotors doesn't even kill the coating or cause damage. I did this through my old GenIII and GenV, no ill effects.

One local tuned and raced the hell out of his car on a meth. kit, and when we swapped his GenIII for a GenV, his GenIII rotors looks perfect. And he was HARD on his car.

One person started the rumor, and almost everyone follows it. Kinda like people saying the coating is Teflon on the GenIII's.

lol the entire topic had to do with the rotors that are in my car now.
