Surface Finish Design and Measurement - Motor Oil Geek with Dr Mark Malburg

[rstcso]

Love him or hate him, LSJr has posted a video on surface finish design for cylinders, and rings to match the different finishes. For clickbait, he briefly mentions the L87 recall, but the focus is on cylinders and rings. He's at Jon Kasse Racing Engines with Dr Mark Malburg who he refers to as "a surface finish guru". Malburg has measured surfaces and created large-scale, 3D-printed models of some surfaces. Pretty good discussion and visuals.

Lake points out that consumers should do three things: Use a metallic drain plug, cut open and inspect their used oil filters, and UOA for trend analysis.

GM has made over 100 million small blocks - they don’t need him to explain that one part line dropped the ball …

Suffered through 15 minutes and didn't learn exactly what GM got wrong unless I zoned out and missed it.

His GM reference in the title was nothing more than pure clickbait. They may have spent 10 seconds saying this video wasn't about crankshafts, then shifted to talking about cylinder surface finishes.
