[QUOTE="dun, post: 429558, member: 34"] Years ago chevy touted they chemical honing of the cylinders in the Vega. Friend of mine had one that never got decent gas mileage and after a few miles the engine started to clatter. He would check the oil and it was over full, after it sat for an hour or 2 the oil level was normal. Bearings burned out in about 1000 miles. Turned out that raw fuel was dumping past the rings in the chemically honed cylinders and collecting in the pan. After the car was parked the heat would evaporate the fuel in the pan but the damage had been done. I wonder why no one is pitching chemical honing of cylinders anymore. [/QUOTE]
