2. 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. [10]

3. Engine block - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_block

   The engine block in an early automotive engine consisted of just the cylinder block, to which a separate crankcase was attached. Modern engine blocks typically have the crankcase integrated with the cylinder block as a single component. Engine blocks often also include elements such as coolant passages and oil galleries.

4. 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.

5. Cylinder (engine) - Wikipedia

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

   The inner surface of the cylinder is formed from either a thin metallic liner (also called "sleeve") or a surface coating applied to the engine block. A piston is seated inside each cylinder by several metal piston rings, [1] which also provide seals for compression and the lubricating oil. The piston rings do not actually touch the cylinder ...

6. 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.

7. 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 ...
