You may want to get a copy of Kristiansen patent 4022167 along with the Manthey patent 5813372. The Kristiansen patent goes into some detail why a design of this type is more efficient. In my opinion the Manthey design resolves many of the problems that kept the Kristiansen design from being commercially produced. You can obtain a copy of the patents by calling the Patent Office (703 305-8716). I think its $3.00 per copy if shipped regular mail. They will Fax it within 24 hour but I do not recall the price. I wish I could give you some definitive answers regarding the testing. All I can say for now that Shelby has two state of the art computerized dynos available for testing. Currently there are several production style engines that are being evaluated. I do not know the details but I am speculating these engines were built to demonstrate the OX2 versatility as it relates to specific companies that have been looking at the engine. As I recall the surface problem discussion was related to friction and premature failure due to excessive wear. Having experience with surface hardening of metals, I believe that the wear problem can be managed with the proper treatment. Don't hesitate to ask questions. It will be refreshing to discuss the merits of the engine.
