I had already spotted the issue when I watched his video before meeting him and saw just how rough his bores looked. Goodson says a dull matte finish, but the profilometer says a semi-gloss/satin finish is right.

It doesn't appear Sreten has addressed this but that is a wild revelation that the motor from H2 ate itself so quickly and you guys built him another one. I can only speculate why he hasn't addressed this but am hoping he does in a future video. Didn't you guys host him and have a meetup when he was around? Can't imagine he wouldn't create any content from that trip or maybe he doesn't want to point the blame at H2 for the failure? Can you elaborate on this anymore?
