REM Process Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is Cryogenic Superfinish LLC REM ISFTM; process more desirable than any other REM ISFTM; processing lab?
   The answer is simple, precision. No other REM ISFTM; process lab has the personnel with our experience and exposure to advanced race engine technology. We currently race the #94 McDonald's Bill Elliot car as well as the #88 Darrell Waltrip victory tour car in the historic stock car circuit. CSF works with some of the top endurance and drag race engine builders. We understand what it takes for a 358ci 850hp 9000 RPM engine to survive a season of historic racing, PRECISION!
   
   
2. Will the CSF REM ISFTM; process really make a noticeable difference to my engine and drive train?
   Yes; anyone unfamiliar with REM ISFTM; underestimates how dramatically this technology can reduce parasitic drag (over 55%) as well as lower oil temps. This enables the utilization of ultra low viscosity oil to further exploit the superfinished assembly (engine, drive train etc.) Please refer to the technical papers for more detail.
   
   
3. What components in my engine should be REM ISFTM; processed?
   Everything that is made of ferrous metal; roller cam and lifters, valve springs, push rods, timing gears, crankshaft, connecting rods, wrist pins, oil pump gears, etc. Please refer to the technical papers for more detail.
   
   
4. What does "superfinish" mean?
   Superfinishing is a generic term used to describe a highly polished machined surface resulting in little to no asperities. There are several ways to achieve this, howeve the REM ISFTM; process is by far the most advanced. The patented REM ISFTM; process is the only superfinishing method to carry a United States Department of Defense (D.O.D.) certification.
   
   
5. What is "ISFTM;"?
   Isotropic SuperfinishTM;. The term describes the microscopic random squiggly lines that are the end result of the REM ISFTM; process. These random squiggly lines are almost undetectable to the naked eye. This is the most ideal type of surface finish to achieve low friction and maximum lubrication. Please refer to the technical papers for more detail.
