I swear by the flex hone for a seamless and effective engine reassembly routine.

Perfect Finish Every Time
Used this to deglaze cylinders on a cast iron engine block. Left a nice crosshatch pattern and removed just enough material without overdoing it. Very forgiving and easy to use with a hand drill. Great tool for anyone doing rebuilds at home. Highly recommend.

Love it!
Thought I would have to take the block to a machine shop, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Used this with the Flex-Hone oil and the N55B30 engine cylinders don't have any more rust, are nice and sparkly clean with a beautiful cross-hatch. Great product.
