FLEX HONE 3 3/4 HD ENGINE - Brush Research

The Brush Research FLEX HONE 3 3/4 HD ENGINE (Model: GBD33412) is a professional-grade honing tool designed for automotive and industrial engine rebuilding and maintenance. This specialized tool consistently delivers a high-performance plateau finish, effectively deglazing and resizing cylinder walls to prepare surfaces for optimal piston ring seating and enhanced engine longevity.

Key Features

• 120SC Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Utilizes a 120SC (Silicon Carbide) grit for efficient material removal, crucial for achieving a superior plateau finish that promotes proper piston ring seating and essential oil retention.
• 13.5” Overall Length: Provides extended reach, making it suitable for honing deep engine cylinders and ensuring comprehensive surface treatment across various applications.
• Self-Centering and Self-Aligning Design: Engineered to automatically center itself within the bore, this design compensates for wear and alignment issues, ensuring uniform pressure and a consistent cross-hatch pattern.
• Flexible Drive Shaft: Allows the abrasive globules to articulate and accurately follow the contours of the bore, making it effective for both through-holes and blind holes without compromising finish quality.
• Durable Construction: Built with professional-grade materials to withstand the rigorous demands of frequent use in demanding shop environments, ensuring reliability and longevity.

Applications

• Engine Cylinder Honing: Ideal for resurfacing and deglazing cylinder walls across a wide range of heavy-duty engine applications, including automotive, diesel, and industrial engines.
• Piston Ring Seating: Prepares cylinder surfaces to achieve proper piston ring break-in and sealing, which is critical for maximizing engine performance and reducing oil consumption.
• Cylinder Repair and Maintenance: Facilitates the removal of rust, corrosion, and carbon deposits from cylinder bores, restoring internal surfaces to optimal condition during rebuilds or overhauls.

Specifications

• Abrasive Type: 120SC Silicon Carbide
• Overall Length: 13.5 inches
