Cylinder Hone
A cylinder hone is a precision tool used in engine rebuilding and maintenance to improve the surface finish of cylinders. It features a series of abrasive stones or flexible abrasive strips that are attached to a spindle. When inserted into a cylinder, the hone is rotated and moved up and down, creating a crosshatch pattern on the cylinder walls. This process helps to remove glaze, imperfections, and buildup, resulting in a smoother surface that promotes proper piston ring seating and oil retention. The cylinder hone is an essential tool for achieving optimal engine performance and longevity, and at JEGS, we offer a variety of cylinder hones, including the hone-280 with 280 grit abrasives, to meet your engine rebuilding needs.

Selecting the correct cylinder hone for your application requires consideration of several factors. Start by identifying the cylinder bore size and material you'll be working with. Determine the desired grit size for the hone, which determines the level of surface finish it will achieve. For instance, the hone-280 features 280 grit abrasives, which provide a moderate level of surface texture. Consider the type of hone that best suits your needs, such as a flexible honing tool or a rigid hone. Pay attention to compatibility with your specific engine block and cylinder dimensions.
