My bad, in is cutting of groves in something like a metal handle. http://www.technologystudent.com/equip1/knurl1.htm
As I recall from years gone by, the 3.0L V6 by Mitsu that was used in the caravan had brass/bronze valve guides and aluminum heads. The valve guides would come loose from head and start getting oil in cylinders and smoke like freight trains. The solution was to press out guides, knurl them and press back in. At least that was what I was told by the machine shop...
