That engine should have an alusil block. you can NOT hone as you do on an iron one. Honing/ lapping is done with a sunnen silicon compound. The pistons Mahle / Kolbenschmidt are coated with a special material to run in an alusil block, you can not use a UN coated aluminum piston as it will seize in its bore.
