Btyan;

I seriously doubt the "shake table" theory. Heat cycling is the only
reliable way to stress relieve metal that I know of.

If anybody wanted to try the high power "Shake Table" idea, too bad you just
missed a Raytheon (Hughes Aircraft) surplus sale that had a complete 12,000
pound shake table.

I have read that a  rebuildable engine out of an old school bus or truck
is good for racing use because it is "Seasoned".

I also read about vibrating  parts with a high power "Shake Table"
will relieve stress.

Are these Racing Myths?
