From what I've been reading, the silicon portion is only applied to the wall of the cylinder ie. liner Something about it being applied and eventually 'melted' into the cylinder wall. Lokasil process thing.
Hence, if you bore the engine, the silicon liner will be gone and you would not get the benefits of the reduced friction between the cylinder wall and pistons. But I'm guessing this will still work.
