Ah, OK looks like kdjones is confirming the coating is alusil. I agree with him if the block can be re-ringed with just a hand scuff that would be news to me but welcome news. That's the exact area I/you should become smart on as it's not like a normal block in this one respect.
KD - is it acceptable to re-use the old rings? If thats what people do with Alusil, I'd also do that. OTOH, if it's OK to use a ball hone to deglaze and then put new rings in, I'd want to do that personally just to complete the engine refresh.
