Good band....
If you can't find an allowance, IIDSYCYC...
IIDSYCYC: "If it doesn't say you can, you can't"
i.e. exactly that. If there's not something in the rules that says you can REM finish a gear or connecting rod or whatever, then you can not do it.
The two gear systems that can use the REM process in IT racing is the transmission & the diffs, transaxle for Porsche's. Since it is not a paint, coating or plating it would think it would be allowed. This "If it doesn't say you can, you can't" is like a parent saying don't do as I do, do as I say. Which was BS even when I was little. 8~) I just want to get this in the open and clarify it.

And it's really not Dan. The whole ITCS is predicated on the very first principle of the rules:
"The following modifications are authorized on all Improved Touring Category cars. Modifications shall not be made unless authorized herein."
If it doesn't say you can, then you can't.
Then they should not have addressed paint, coating or plating. Your explaination is fine with me and also less expensive.

or impregnating substance (i.e. anti-friction, thermal barrier,
oil shedding coatings, chrome, anodizing, etc.) to any internal
engine surface, including intake manifold internal surface, is
so if you can coat/paint/plate parts, why not REM? because of the way the finish is achieved?
As mentioned earlier, that's one of those instances where someone did us no favors by stipulating what cannot be done. I've argued for a decade that those should all be stripped out of the rules.
