Did Ford mention at XYZ miles it will require recoating again ?
There has been speculations that in factory form, the plasma coating on R35 should be lifetime (300k km). However once you put more power through the engine, the lifespan shortens depending on how much power goes through.
Without detracting too much off topic, plasma coating is a great technology. When you put more power through an engine, there will be other pertinent components that we should be worried.
