[QUOTE="TurboTJ, post: 1536497, member: 33074"] That’s a great video. Accelerated aging tests are always fun. I’m happy to see they do thermal shock too. Makes me feel better when I remote start at -10F in the winter and hear an unusual whine for the first 10-20 seconds. I used to do thermal shock testing on nuke components and always wanted to stick car parts into the chamber! There certainly have been advances in surface treatments but I hadn’t heard that and A-380 is not in my references (besides the jumbo jet) but I don’t work with castings on a daily basis either. I’ll have to read up on this. Maybe they find a material less susceptible to warping than the current exhaust manifolds. As I’ve said before, I think the 3.5EB is a great engine and very reliable but given the extra complexity and parts, it’s just not possible to be *as* reliable as a non turbo engine. That’s just math/statistics. [/QUOTE]
