It’s just your usual blinkered intepretation. Using a coating on an ally bore does away with the need for liners. I didnt say that it was the only reason for a coating, it only requires a couple of brain cells to see the meaning, perhaps you can ask someone else to help.
I have seen plenty of coated liners and coated bores, probably before you have seen any at all.

“The main reason for coating a block is to do away with the need for liners, lower friction is simply a by-product.”
Hmm not really too clued up about liners myself but one of my friends has this, its a 1993 V12 F1 Engine that uses air valves, which is an iron block that doesnt use liners.
Sadly I think he might notice if you take the opportunity to shoe horn it into the elise you are building.
