500 SL Man, I am one of the few people on this board that studies metal surfaces for a living. I also know how to approach such studies. I'm also paid good money simply to review the work of others as well as SAE papers. Nothing has been presented to me on CerBond or CerMet that would convince me that this product has any merit. I only see red flags.

I have also seen new technologies in development here in Detroit where the companies are taking great pains to develop dimples on the hardened cylinder wall surface. These dimples are to provide reservoirs that hold the oil, necessary for cylinder wall lubrication.
