Jerry - Asperite honeing is the correct term. The real trick is the direction you hone and the other part is getting
oil to the top of the cylinder wall. I'll give you a hint, it has to do with the
oil ring carrying
oil to the top. And those engines use oil.
Your lecturing the chior here, but in spite of all you have said there is still no proof that synthetics are better than mineral based oils esp. considering the costs. Just a short explnation of what is going on is what I see. Just call me BinB.
