[AT] Coating for small engine mag

[Henry Miller]

I'm sure there is a reason, but I would guess cheap. These engines are
designed for machines that are expected to be replaced every 7 years or
so. If it runs that long they have their money and the customer thinks
it was reliable since it lasted that long. That it could last much
longer with just a little more cost is a bad thing.
