    It worked well for my SBC. I thought it should last longer than 1 V8 engine honing. Maybe its not supposed to, I dont know when I was done I noticed the dingle balls were smoothe.

    only did one chevy - about 15 pumps with 240 grit (best all round). Coat the bore AND all balls with atf and a brush before use - clean SUPER well till a white clean paper towel shows no grime - Cross hatch pattern was unbelievable - and this was my first time. I wouldnt look anywhere else, drop the dough and do the job right!

    Works as it should, does the job. Its not perfect lol, its a dingle hone, so dont expect machine level results. But if youve got a thin bit of surface rust, or youre just a cheap slop like myself who needed to hone the cylinders in my junky rally car. Its great.

    maybe i just got confused reading the information about these hones on a couple of sights.some where I read that these hones will work for a little bit larger hole then the size listing of the hones. this one seams to just make it for a whole thats 4.130. i was hoping it would work for a 4.250 hole .this one is way to small for that size. over all these hones work great for cleaning up a bore.they can even make a good cross hatch pattern on a bore with a ridge and some tapper to it. i use these to clean up a bore before i measure or use my accurate hone with a dial for size to square up the bore a little

    Needed to buy this when I was rebuilding my motor for my 3000gt. Worked beautifully. Crossed hatched nicely and will buy another when it is time to rebuild the motor in my truck and my motorcycle.

    Bought this to rehone the 3.8 Buick cylinders after trying to use them old stone three arm hone devices. I have no idea why I ever thought that contraption would ever work. This thing is a beast. Takes seconds to use properly and I didnt have a second thought about putting the crank back in and hooking up the Pistons. If you ever plan during your mid-life crisis that you must rebuild an engine, save yourself some time and get this and the next grit under and use these to perfectly hone your sbc or whatever man.

The Flex-Hone® tool was originally created by Brush Research Manufacturing to deglaze cylinder walls in automotive applications. Brush Research embraced the benefits of a plateau finish and pioneered the concept of plateau honing culminating in the introduction of the Flex-Hone tool in 1972. The Flex-Hone has gained many nicknames over the years and including ball hone, ball style hone, flexihone, dingleberry hone, bead brush, glaze breaker and glaze buster. Flexible honing with the Flex-Hone tool produces an oil holding cross hatch pattern and a true plateau finish free of cut, torn and folded metal. Any type or size of cylinder can benefit from the Flex-Hone®. These abrasive bead style brushes are produced in standard diameters from 4mm to 36 inches. Nine abrasive types are offered including silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, boron carbide and diamond allowing the tool to be tailored to finish any base material. A choice of 11 different grit selections are available for precise control of finish parameters. The elimination of peaks results in rapid ring seating, better oil control, reduced seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and provides better seal performance and longer seal life. Successful applications include firearm chambers, shotgun barrels, musical instruments, combustion chambers, air compressors, pumps, valve bodies, valve guides, brake cylinders, wheel cylinders and the list goes on and on. Flex-Hone® tools are also very effective for deburring cross drilled holes, port radiusing and edge blending. Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone is self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear so it does not require an elaborate set-up or special training. Deburring can be effectively automated and combined in the machining process to allow a complete cylinder finish in one operation or it can be employed as a secondary operation with equal results.
