    I bought this for my 1997 SeaDoo Speedster engine repair. I originally honed it with this but then found out I needed to get the cylinder bored over for other reasons. I took it into the machine shop and the machinist was in awe how amazing the cylinder looked he was wondering why I was even there. The cross hatch this tool leaves is second to none. This is a must have for anyone who regularly works on engines, but keep in mind these are fitted for specific size bores. If you just need one for a different size bore every time on new engines you work on, it might not be cost effective for you. For me, I would rather accumulate a whole set...so its all good for me.

    Ordered a few different grits to take out some gunk and pits from an engine i am working on. You can definitely see the improvements and new life these products can provide under the right circumstances. Sadly for my case the damage to my engine is more than i feel comfortable dealing with, with a hone at least. Will be buying these products in the future for sure!!

    Stock engine refresh 4.0in bore. This thing worked great. Tip: Get a buddy and make them keep it flooded with lube while you stroke it;) Use wd40 or whatever is cheap. Youll use most of a can. Then wash that engine with soapy water and a brush, or just pressure wash it. Its going have lots of fine metal particles everywhere from the hone process.

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.
