Re: Burnishing?
I blue/scrape any high spots and use Timesaver to set my rods and crank.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Burnishing?
I know what you mean by using the word burnishing for this but if there is an abrasive being used .. it’s something else. Even though the abrasive is fine you are grinding. I use burnishing two ways in my day job; gold leaf and putting a glossy surface on albumen photographic prints. In both cases the object to be burnished is rubbed with a tool only to make the surface smoother.

Re: Burnishing?
Burnishing to me means "heat"...
I recall the term mostly in automatic transmission clutch plates. Some rebuilders will slip the clutches purposely, after a rebuild to smooth out the clutches. Supposedly this helps with smoother shifts/clutch application.
Not a big believer myself.
Torque converter lock-up clutches on some vehicles, had a break-in procedure that was activated through the computer to basically slip the clutch for a couple hundred miles after replacing a converter.

Re: Burnishing?
Burnishing or running in is not necessary if the surface finish and dimensional tolerances of the crankshaft and main bearings is good.
“Running In” as Ford specified was to correct the fits and tolerances in case the machining was sloppy. In most cases it was. The act of “liberally oiling the bearings and running in the mains until the bearings smoke” was to provide a fairly precise fit without high precision measuring, without high precision machining, and with only a moderately skilled mechanic doing the work. The temperature that the oil smokes at is the temperature that the journal has expanded enough to provide proper oil clearance once everything has cooled.

Re: Burnishing?
How is it driven? is it flat belt on the drum or are the inturnals of the drum an electric motor?
This diagram shows the complete engine has a fuel line, is the engine being driven or for driving?

Re: Burnishing?
If the engine was driving the crank in the bare block as shown in the picture, it would be turning the crankshaft in the wrong direction.

Re: Burnishing?
After I finish line boring I burnish the Bearings to the crank with time saver in the same setup.
