Engine Tech: Surface Finish After Break-In (Expo 2024 - Episode 37)

Описание: In this episode we look at how much surface finish changes between a freshly honed block and after its first break-in run.

Lake Speed Jr heads over to PME Engines where they’ve got one of Lake’s dad’s (Lake Speed Sr) Ford C3 NASCAR blocks freshly honed and ready for assembly.

With a focus on the Rpk (peak) values, Lake takes us through measuring the surface finish in the un-assembled block, again after assembly, and finally after a 30-minute dyno run.

He also provides some insight on what you should be looking for in the best surface finish – one that helps ensure there’s the right amount of oil in the right place at the right time – to ensure optimal engine operations and longevity.
