Richard Stephen Nov 11, 2015:
I remember honing the cylinders in the engines I rebuilt as a kid. At that time they were still using carborundum blocks, but obviously the new ceramic abrasives would work perfectly.
David Williams (asker) Nov 10, 2015:
Indeed "coated" seems most likely, or "lined". The literal translation, "honed", doesn't seem very likely to me.
philgoddard Nov 10, 2015:
David You don't say what research you've done, but have you rejected the literal translation, "honed"? Or could it mean "coated"?

The new crankcase is cast in one piece together with the cylinder block from cast iron alloy. 6 cooling water channels drilled between the cylinders guarantee excellent heat dissipation and a uniform temperature distribution at the surface of the cylinders. High rigidity and lower noise emissions are achieved by providing appropriate ribs on the new aluminium intermediate plate. The crankcase ventilation is designed as a closed system, i.e. the blow-by is fed back to the engine combustion via a valve with integral oil mist separator. The pistons run directly in the crankcase where optimum conditions with regard to resistance to wear and oil consumption are achieved due to the ceramic honing of the cylinder surfaces.

Honing services use fine-grit abrasives to provide a very high finish to metals when super finishes or tight tolerances are required....Honing services may also use flexible hones or hand hones, and various types of honing sticks and tools to refine the finish of internal bores and external surfaces...With metal tubes, cylinders, and other hollow circular objects, either the inner diameter or the outer diameter is honed...Ceramic honing is used with ceramic tubes and rods, and to produce sharp surfaces.
