WPC treatment is pretty cool, I've tried it out on various Porsche parts. It's an old technology first developed in Japan to help manufactured parts release from their molds. The media they use to "blast" parts is a similar consistency to baby powder.

I've got a steel plate at the shop that is half micropolished and half wpc treated. It's used as a demonstrative piece to show customers the benefits of WPC... you spin a bucket style lifter on both sides... its easy to see the wpc side has les friction.

They've done engine parts for all the big dogs like Moto GP, F1, Nascar, etc. The WPC shop is also paired up with Cryo treatment shop.

FYI usually what kills the cam towers is debris in the oil that scars the journals or abusive mechanics who damage the rocker bores.
