How fast should you spin it? Run the Flex-Hone at speeds between 60 and 1200 RPM. That's a wide range, so look at the tool diameter and surface finishing requirements – and get the Flex-Hone Resource Guide for RPM recommendations. https://na2.hubs.ly/H06YyTt0

How do they improve fi****ms performance? Flex-Hone for Fi****ms tools use a controlled, low-pressure action to remove microscopic peaks inside the bore or chamber. This doesn't change geometry. It improves surface finish for reduced fouling and easier cleaning. https://na2.hubs.ly/H06LQD90 ****ms

Never run a Flex-Hone dry. Generously coat both the cylinder and the tool with honing oil, light motor oil, or a water-soluble oil. We recommend Flex-Hone Oil, our own special blend. It prevents loading and ensures exposure of fresh cutting particles. https://na2.hubs.ly/H06LQb80

Planning a rebuild? Remember to clean your engine block after using the Flex-Hone tool. Wash the cylinders using hot, soapy water and a stiff nylon bristle brush. Next, wipe them dry with a clean cloth or towel. Then lightly oil the cylinders to prevent rust. https://na2.hubs.ly/H06LPMF0

Want a tip? If the tip of the Flex-Hone is red, the abrasive is 180-grit. But how can you determine the abrasive type? Look at the color of the marking on the tool's stem. The Flex-Hone Resource Guide covers all of the colors and contains more Flex-Hone tips. https://na2.hubs.ly/H06LPJV0

Why is the Flex-Hone larger than the bore? It's to create a soft, gentle cutting action. The abrasive balls press evenly against the cylinder wall without gouging the metal. The degree of oversize also centers the tool perfectly in the bore. https://na2.hubs.ly/H06t9t40
