IN MANY INSTANCES, COMPARISONS BETWEEN NONPLATEAU AND PLATEAU HONED SURFACES HAVE BEEN MADE SIMPLY BY TESTING A CONVENTIONAL HONED SURFACE AGAINST THE SAME SURFACE AFTER PLATEAU HONING. IN THIS STUDY, CONVENTIONAL SURFACES ARE TESTED AGAINST A PLATEAU-HONED SURFACE OF COMPARABLE OVERALL ROUGHNESS. THE SURFACES WERE PRODUCED USING A RELIABLE HONING PROCESS WHICH COULD BE DUPLICATED IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. OIL CONSUMPTION WAS FOUND TO BE DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO ROUGHNESS AND RING WEAR WAS FOUND TO BE INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO ROUGHNESS. THE RESULTS OF THE TEST ARE TO BE USED IN SELECTION OF AN IDEAL SURFACE FOR THE APPLICATION.
