Yes, although the honing process is more about breaking the surface glaze. Here's an interesting technical article about Nikasil and the process....
Ferrari published many "Diagnostic Sheets" which included very specific technical information for troubleshooting systems. These documents were...
These lock tabs are not used on the Mondial, QV, etc....They are only on the inner CV joint on a BB where the CV bolts screw into a flange. Most...
Come me too in, John.
