I came across this video recently, watched a bit this morning, and learned a couple of things. Maybe you'll find it interesting or helpful as well.

Good video, given the forces involved it really is surprising they last as long as they do.

some of the numbers and units were incorrect but overall its a decent educational video.

Please be specific. What numbers and units are incorrect? Can you show or explain how they are incorrect?

at 4m20s 1.4-50.6 kg/cm2 isnt 20-80 psi
50.6 is 700 something psi.. probably meant 5.6kg/cm2

the surface roughness units were wrong too. at 12:25
If I remember my scientific notation correctly should be about 1000x smaller. his decimal place is way off.
