[Fot] Flex hone life span & lube

[Steve Yott]

I would recommend taking a look at the following site... No personal
involvement here it's just that I have read most of their info which is
good.  Flex Hones come in various sizes in the cylinder bore range by 1/4
and 1/2 inch increments.  You do not need an exact size but should use the
next oversize if you are honing a bore that is the same as a size offered.
They recommend Flex Hone oil but I use a 50/50 mix of mineral spirits and
automatic transmission fluid.  I always use two grits and normally start
with a 120 and then finish with a 240.

FoT 

I'm just inquiring about flex hones. I have one I've used once and on the
second time round 

It doesn't seem to cut the way it did last time. Since they are made to a
specific bore size 

their service life has to be limited but how limited ? 

Also, what is everybody favorite cutting solution to use while running a
hone. 

Thanks as always,
