2. Honing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

   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). Smaller grain sizes produce a smoother surface on the ...

3. Deglazing (engine mechanics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deglazing_(engine_mechanics)

   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. Cylinder (engine) - Wikipedia

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

   Cylinder liners (also known as sleeves) are thin metal cylinder-shaped parts which are inserted into the engine block to form the inner wall of the cylinder. [4] [5] Alternatively, an engine can be 'sleeveless', where the cylinder walls are formed by the engine block with a wear-resistant coating, such as Nikasil or plasma-sprayed bores.

5. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   The cylinder walls are usually finished by honing to obtain a cross hatch, which is able to retain more oil. A too rough surface would quickly harm the engine by ...

6. Flat honing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_honing

   A schematic of a flat honing machine: 1. Carrier plate 2. Workpiece 3. Outer ring 4. Driven inner ring 5. Grinding wheel. The term is derived from honing cylinders and holes. A flat workpiece surface is processed, hence the word flat; the word honing is used because the cutting speed is low compared to grinding.

7. Harmonic damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_damper

   Harmonic balancer lower pulley on a four-cylinder engine. A harmonic damper is a device fitted to the free (accessory drive) end of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine to counter torsional and resonance vibrations from the crankshaft. This device must be an interference fit to the crankshaft in order to operate in an effective ...
