2. Honing oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_oil

   There are many different kinds of honing oils to suit different needs. It is important to use the appropriate solution for the job. In the case of knife sharpening, motor oil is too thick or heavy and can over-lubricate or clog a sharpening stone, whereas WD-40 is too light an oil and will not carry the metal filings plus stone dust (collectively known as swarf) away from the stone, and clog it.

3. Deglazing (engine mechanics) - Wikipedia

   First, the lubricating oil in the engine will not adhere properly to the smooth surface, and in the absence of an oil film the resulting friction is increased. Secondly, while breaking in newly installed piston rings, a minute amount of wear must occur between rings and cylinder wall in order to seat the rings properly, and ensure a gas-tight seal.

4. Honing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_(metalworking)

   Superabrasives and hone head for cylinders Honing tools. Honing uses a special tool, called a honing stone or a hone, to achieve a precision surface. The hone is composed of abrasive grains that are bound together with an adhesive. Generally, honing grains are irregularly shaped and about 10 to 50 micrometers in diameter (300 to 1500 mesh grit ...

5. Alusil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alusil

   Although successfully used by many European manufacturers, there are potentially issues associated with engines that use Alusil blocks, namely cylinder bore scoring which occurs when there is a breakdown of the exposed silicon particles in the cylinder bore, resulting in increased oil consumption and excessive piston noise.

6. Cylinder (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(engine)

   During use, the cylinder liner is subject to wear from the rubbing action of the piston rings and piston skirt. This wear is minimized by the thin oil film which coats the cylinder walls and also by a layer of glaze which naturally forms as the engine is run-in. On some engines, the cylinder liner is replaceable, in case it becomes worn or damaged.

7. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   The engine block contains the cylinders. In engines with more than one cylinder they are usually arranged either in 1 row (straight engine) or 2 rows (boxer engine or V engine); 3 or 4 rows are occasionally used in contemporary engines, and other engine configurations are possible and have been used.
