As I mentioned, this is one of the many....efforts we have made. The process is a chemically enhanced vibratory process. The biggest advantage will be the increased oil shedding. The faster oil comes off the counterweights the better! I will keep you all posted, as more information becomes available. -Adam

WooHoo, less instantaneous rotating mass, which will especially be beneficial for the 4.00"+ stroke cranks, as they have more mass to begin with and consequently have more surface area (I'm assuming larger counterweights) that oil could stick to.
