I'm sure if you tried hard enough you could remove some metal, but

Those discs have a place but not near engines unless the engine is apart so they can be washed.They are made with aluminum oxide and it degrades as you use it and gets into the engine and if not washed out becomes the worlds best honing compound.Very difficult to control when the pistons are in the block.
