Valve guides work under low lubrication and high thermal stress. That's why controlling their internal surface finish is critical for engine longevity. The Flex-Hone creates a surface finish that retains engine oil, reduces friction, and prevents the valve stems from sticking. https://na2.hubs.ly/H0662tN0

Use them with marine blocks, hydraulic cylinders, large pipes, and stationary diesel engines. GBDX series Flex-Hones are built for big bores and feature a reusable steel drum with replaceable honing sections. That means you can swap out different grits without replacing the entire tool. https://na2.hubs.ly/H065XDh0
