what is special about the nikacil hone?

Nikacil is very hard and generally does not require honing to reuse. If the cylinders measure in spec for ovality and bore size you can generally clean them and put in new rings with no need to hone. Plenty of info on this site on how to do that. As mentioned ring land clearance and piston to cylinder clearance need to be measured as well. If cylinders do need to be honed there are special hones needed (diamond I believe) and surface RA finish is important as well.
