Unless we have something we can use from a crashed UFO, no. Teflon is just plastic and wouldn't hold up. One thing that reduces the friction in the cylinder lining is to chrome plate them. They do this on better aircraft engines. They aren't shiny like an old cadilac bumper, but they looked like cracked glass. The current is reversed in the chroming process to give the cracked appearance. This helps the oil stick to the cylinder walls.
Does anyone know if MB, BMW, or Porsche chromes the cylinders walls. Dave.
