Building from Dr. Mark Malburg's talk about 3D surface finish measurements, Lake Speed Jr. and Ed Kiebler tackle the honing and measuring of cylinder sleeves for a special project. Utilizing a ring on cylinder wear test at Southwest Research Institute, Total Seal and Rottler look to quantify the impact of surface finish and metallurgy on cylinder wear. This video is the first in a series as both cylinder bore and ring face coatings are tested in this unique, but proven test rig.

Southwest Research is a leading lab in the field of Tribology.
