can the nikasil cylinders be honed??
dropped mine of at a motor shop because they needed them to match up the new Wiesco pistons. When I got them back the mechanic didnt tell me he honed them, I noticed it on my bill and then I checked the cylinders and they are all cross hatched.... doenst that wear off the nikasil?

just like to hear from some other guys before I call dealer tomorrow and see what Yammy says about them.
 

yes, they can be honed. If they weren't honed you'd never get the rings to seal. i'm sure they were just honed with a real fine finish hone which won't hurt a thing.
 
thanks, thats what i needed to hear.
i didnt think you could do anything to the nikasil coating, very relieved.
now its time to put her all back together.
