The real challenge is to establish a calculation model to predict the cylindricity of the honed cylinder liner before honing. In this paper, the relationship between honing parameters and the cylindricity of the cylinder liner is investigated; then a novel prediction model of the cylindricity of honed cylinder liner is proposed by considering the effect of honing parameters such as honing pressure, oilstone particle size, and overrunning distance on the material removal amount. The cylindricity of the honed cylinder liner is determined by the proposed model combining with the spatial trajectory of honing oilstone. The honing processing with different parameters is performed to obtain the cylindricities of honed cylinder liner. The predicted results by the proposed model are in good agreement with the measured cylindricities. The results show that the overrunning distance has a greater effect on the cylindricity of the honed cylinder liner, and a better cylindricity can be obtained when the honing pressure is lower. When the overrunning distance is 20 to 30% of the length of the oilstone, the cylindricity of the honed cylinder liner is better.
