FLEX HONE 1-3/4" SMALL ENGINE - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC13418 FLEX HONE 1-3/4" SMALL ENGINE tool provides professional technicians with an essential solution for achieving superior surface finishing and precise deburring in various cylinders. This flexible honing tool is engineered to produce a consistent plateau finish and an optimal cross-hatch pattern, crucial for enhancing lubrication, improving seal performance, and extending the operational lifespan of vital components in small engines and industrial systems. Its design ensures self-centering and self-alignment, delivering uniform pressure and a soft cutting action that effectively removes torn, cut, and folded metal without significant material removal or gouging.

Key Features

• Precision 1-3/4" Bore Honing: Specifically designed for 1-3/4 inch (45mm) diameter cylinders, this tool ensures precise and effective surface refinement, with the BC Series accommodating bores from 4mm up to 3 inches (76mm).
• Optimal Plateau Finish: Creates a true plateau finish with an oil-retaining cross-hatch pattern, which is vital for proper piston ring seating, reduced friction, and superior oil control.
• Self-Centering and Self-Aligning: The tool's flexible construction with independently suspended abrasive globules ensures it is self-centering and self-aligning to the bore, compensating for wear and delivering consistent results.
• Effective Cross-Hole Deburring: Efficiently removes burrs from cross-drilled holes, preventing potential wear and enhancing the overall integrity and performance of the cylinder.
• Durable Professional Construction: Manufactured by Brush Research, this tool features professional-grade quality, ensuring durability and longevity in demanding shop environments.

Applications

This versatile Flex-Hone tool is invaluable for a broad spectrum of automotive and industrial applications where precise cylinder finishing and deburring are critical for performance and longevity:

• Small Engine Cylinders: Ideal for engine rebuilds and routine maintenance in motorcycles, ATVs, lawnmowers, generators, and other small capacity engines.
• Brake and Wheel Cylinders: Essential for optimizing surface finish to ensure proper sealing and reliable performance in automotive braking systems.
• Hydraulic Cylinders: Improves performance and extends the life of hydraulic ram cylinders and valve bodies by reducing seepage and enhancing seal life.
• Pneumatic Cylinders: Ensures efficient operation and sealing in pneumatic cylinders and compressed air tool bodies.
• Valve Guides: Provides an ideal surface finish for valve guides, promoting better valve sealing and overall engine efficiency.
