CTA Tools 2294 Heavy-Duty Engine Cylinder Flex Hone, 4-1/4" Bore, 180 Grit, Silicon Carbide

  • The CTA 2294 heavy-duty engine cylinder flex hone is a 180-grit silicon carbide flex hone designed for removing cuts, torn or folded metal, and producing a controlled crosshatch surface finish in engine cylinders, lifter bores, valve guides, and hydraulic bores. It offers resilient, flexible stones that evenly hone bores without excessive material removal.
  • Features:
    • 180-grit silicon carbide stones provide aggressive cutting to remove damage while leaving a long-wearing finish.
    • 108 mm (4-1/4-inch) diameter fits a wide range of cylinder bores and provides full contact for even honing.
    • Ball-type flex stones that flex to contour to minor imperfections yet maintain surface control for consistent crosshatch pattern.
    • Made in USA, ensuring quality manufacturing and durability for professional engine machining work.
  • Specifications:
    • Manufacturer: CTA Tools (CTA Manufacturing)
    • Part Number: 2294
    • Grit: 180 (silicon carbide)
    • Diameter: 108 mm / 4-1/4"
    • Stones: Ball type flex hone elements for controlled finish
    • Made in USA
  • The tool can also be referred to as CTA flex hone 180-grit 108 mm, CTA 2294 engine cylinder hone, heavy duty cylinder flex hone CTA, CTA 4-1/4-inch silicon carbide flex hone, and CTA 2294 ball-end flex hone.

 

CTA Tools manufactures the 2294 heavy duty flex hone to deliver professional bore finishing results, blending aggressive material removal with resilient honing elements so engine machine shops and repair shops achieve consistent surface finishes in piston, valve guide, and hydraulic bores.

 

Q: What bores or applications is CTA 2294 best suited for?
A: It is best for engine cylinders, lifter bores, valve guides, hydraulic bores, diesel cylinders, and cam bearing surfaces where damage needs correction and a consistent crosshatch finish is required.

 

Q: How should it be used to maximize its lifespan?
A: Use light to moderate pressure, ensure even rotation, maintain lubrication if applicable, avoid overheating the hone or bore, and clean frequently to remove swarf buildup so the honing stones cut effectively throughout the job. (Manufacturer recommends soft cutting action of the flex stones.)

 

Q: What finishing results can be expected with this hone?
A: Expect a consistent crosshatch pattern that supports good oil retention, improved ring seating in engine cylinders, and smoother operation in hydraulic or valve guide bores. It removes folded, torn metal and refines bore walls without aggressive material removal.
