is someone going to nitride 400 cranks in 400 cars to prove the theory to people like you? not a chance in a million.
If you have another theory thats makes any kind of mechanical sense at all I would be happy to debate it with you.
That's great, but at this point, without any testing, it's just a nice sounding idea. What of all the other nice sounding ideas that turned out to be bull-sh*t? Maybe this will become the turd that tops the pile.
Until your idea is tested, it's just a nice sounding idea. The tests are necessary to form a reasonable conclusion (as science teaches us).
The contention here, then, is not that you're wrong, but that your claim that you're right is as hasty a claim as I've ever seen. Let the evidence come in...
