I am proofreading a document and the translator has translated this term as "screwed barrels". The translator is not convinced by this and neither am I. can anyone help? or reassure me that this is correct. Here is some context: "Il piccolo quattro cilindri di Lampredi, a canne avvitate"

threaded cylinder liners
High confidence for the "cylinder liner" or "linings" part but not so sure about the "avvitate" because I don't think they are normally screwed in, but of course back in the thirties they did all sorts of things.
