Key Features

• Self-Centering Design: The flexible, ball-style abrasive ensures the hone automatically centers itself within the cylinder bore, promoting even wear and a consistent surface finish.
• High-Quality 180 Grit Abrasive: Engineered with a durable 180 grit abrasive, specifically chosen for effective deglazing and surface conditioning of engine cylinders.
• Creates Plateau Finish: Develops an ideal cross-hatch pattern on cylinder walls, essential for proper piston ring seating and optimal oil retention.
• Removes Glaze and Carbon: Efficiently eliminates hardened carbon deposits and glaze from cylinder walls, preparing the surface for rebuilding or new piston rings.

Applications

• Engine Cylinder Reconditioning: Ideal for deglazing and surface finishing automotive, marine, and small engine cylinders.
• Cross-Hatch Pattern Generation: Used to produce the precise cross-hatch finish required for optimal piston ring seal and reduced oil consumption.
• Prepares for Piston Ring Installation: An essential tool for preparing worn cylinder walls for the installation of new piston rings, ensuring a proper break-in.
• Automotive and Industrial Maintenance: Applicable across various engine types needing bore reconditioning and surface finishing.

Benefits

• Improved Engine Performance: Ensures proper piston ring seating, which enhances compression, reduces blow-by, and improves overall engine efficiency.
• Extended Engine Life: Facilitates better oil retention on cylinder walls, leading to superior lubrication and reduced wear on critical engine components.
• Consistent Results: The flexible design adapts to bore irregularities, delivering a uniform and high-quality finish every time, even in slightly out-of-round cylinders.
• Easy to Use: Requires minimal setup and specialized skills, making professional-grade cylinder honing accessible for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: A vital tool for engine rebuilds and routine maintenance, preventing premature wear and costly repairs.
