    This is the only hone to use on engine cylinders. I am a master mechanic and the reasons are many. The cross hatch pattern this hone makes is the best for breaking the glaze on new rings and seating them in. Brake type hones are good for rubber seals, plungers, etc to steel bores but not for high friction steel to steel applications. Dont be a cheap skate when it comes to your engine - Go with the best parts and practices. Also, dont use Synthetic oil in engines with new rings. Get at least 500 miles on them and then switch to a synthetic (Same Brand) if you want to use it.

    Chucked it up in my drill, steady speed & motion, perfect results. Happy camper.

    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.

    Used this to hone out my 717 SeaDoo 2 stroke. Cleaned up the cylinder walls nicely. I ran it easy the first hour to break in the old rings again. Runs good now.

    Works excellent may seem to big or tight but its supposed be that this is for a 3in cylinder bore

    Once I got the speed down it put perfect crosshatches on my cylinder walls. About 15 strokes per cylinder seemed about right and the hose still looks like it has plenty of life left

    Put a great cross hatch pattern in bores for new rings. the end is a littel trickey to center on drfill so pressure is the even throught the honing process. Make sure you line it up first before use ( very important).

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.
