Flex-Hones in the New Transformers Movie


What's better than giant robots? How about a Flex-Hone AND giant robots!

The new Transformers movie- the Revenge of the Fallen, had the good sense to include a couple of our GBD Flex-Hones in their car shop scene.

And here we always thought it was magic that kept the robots going. Nope, just a good Flex-Hone.

Finishing and refinishing valve guides (even bronze)

Guy Croft made a lengthy post on how to fit valve guides. As he says, "Bronze guides are NOT easy to make". Part of the problem is that they require a very good surface finish.

How does a master of the craft, such as Guy, finish the valve guides? With a Flex-Hone of course.

If you have a bit, read his entire post on
proper finishing of valve guides with the Flex-Hone. There is some great information there.
