Specifications

• Manufacturer: Brush Research Manufacturing Co., Inc.
• Model Number: {manufacturers_part_number}
• Product Type: Flexible Cylinder Hone
• Nominal Diameter: 3 inches
• Weight: 0.8 lbs
• Dimensions: 13.75 x 4.75 x 4.75 inches

Key Features

• Flexible Design: Self-centering and self-aligning abrasive globules conform precisely to the bore for uniform surface finishing.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Engineered for demanding engine reconditioning applications, ensuring durability and consistent performance.
• Precision Abrasives: Delivers an optimal plateau finish and consistent cross-hatch pattern crucial for effective piston ring seating and oil retention.
• Adaptable Use: Can be operated effectively with standard portable drills or dedicated honing machines, offering operational flexibility.

Applications

• Engine Cylinder Resurfacing: Ideal for deglazing and reconditioning gasoline and diesel engine cylinders to prepare them for new piston rings.
• Bore Finishing: Used for achieving the precise surface finish required for optimal engine component interaction.
• Cross-Hatch Pattern Creation: Essential for establishing the correct surface texture that facilitates lubrication and reduces blow-by in engine bores.
• Component Overhaul: Suitable for automotive, marine, and industrial engine rebuilding projects requiring consistent cylinder integrity.

Benefits

• Improved Engine Performance: Creates an ideal surface for optimal piston ring seating, which reduces oil consumption and enhances engine compression.
• Extended Engine Life: Facilitates proper lubrication by generating a consistent cross-hatch pattern for oil retention, thereby minimizing friction and wear.
• Ease of Use: Simple to operate, requiring minimal setup and specialized training compared to more rigid honing systems.
• Consistent Results: The flexible design ensures uniform surface finish throughout the bore, even in irregular or slightly out-of-round cylinders.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: A durable tool that helps restore cylinder integrity, prolonging the lifespan of critical engine components and reducing the need for premature replacements.
