Please see information from Henry Schmidt at Supertec. He has discussed this topic a number of times, what he talks about works. No theories, just practical experience. He uses red Scotch Brite, do a search on the topic. See below. R/Dave
"It has been our experience that if you hone Nicasil cylinders the hone cuts into the Nicasil and because it is so hard that the new ridges are too abrasive on the rings. The rings will seat but they will not last as long as they would if the cylinders are prepped properly. We have had great results from Scotch Brite with soap and water. This breaks the glaze but doesn't cut the Nicasil. Don't forget to check for roundness. I've seen Porsche cylinders .004 out of round.
P.S. use only Goetze rings. Hastings in a pinch".
