Brush Research FLEX-HONE Cylinder Hone, BC Series, Silicon Carbide Abrasive, 3 (76 mm) Diameter, 240 Grit Size

Worked great

Great

There was nothing to dislike safe and easy to use takes guesswork out of cylinder honing

These are very easy to use Time will tell how long they last

Honed a Golfcart cylinder in no time, removed fine scratches and ridge at top of cylinder in under 5 minutes. Pricey but cheaper than a machine shop and frankly equal results for all I needed.

Worked great

Used this for my Predator 212cc go kart build, where I was swapping to a flat top piston for additional compression. While the cylinder didn’t look bad to begin with, this hone made it look great. I coated the hone in oil and utilized it for around 30 seconds per the instructions. Can’t wait to use its again on the next build!

So I have this 1982 Honda Magna I recently acquired which needs some love to get back on the road. Apparently the previous owner dropped the bike while loading it on a trailer, decided not to fix it and let it sit for a few years. The sight glass was busted on the clutch master cylinder so the fluids drained out of the main chamber and after a few years of sitting, the rest of the fluid turned into some kind of green alien substance... After stripping some screws trying to get the thing took apart, I discovered the piston was quite stuck in the chamber - which required me to drill through the top of the piston, insert a metal screw and pry the b***h out with a crowbar. What I found in the chamber was nothing short of horrific - a nice thick black coating of whatever the brake fluid turned into after all these years. It looked like carbon, and it was impossible to get scrubbed out with brass bore cleaners or soaked out with anything I had available (which is a lot of stuff). I searched around for potential replacements on eBay, but there was nothing that looked like it would be a sure buy that would work - especially for the money these people were asking. So, I have to make this work... Eventually I gave up on the fruitless manual labor and tried to find another solution. Stumbled across honing engine cylinder and started looking for really small honing tools (5/8 or 16 mm). Found this, got it today, attached it to my drill, doused the cylinder and this tool with brake fluid for lubrication and let it go to work.... Freaking awesome results!!!! I got the 120 grit one, so once I get the OEM rebuild kit here, I will do a test fit and if things look snug, I will get the 320 grit brush and finish it up. Very happy to finally be able to move past the roadblock and get onto other stuff on this bike!!!

Did 2 passes with the 240grit on a RM250 cylinder and it came out beautiful , real smooth

just what I needed
