Product Details
Universal Nylon Soft Hone Brush (W6077) by Wiseco®. Wiseco supplies honing brushes in multiple sizes to assist in your rebuild. These nylon soft hone brushes assure a proper ring seal in Cast Iron Sleeved Cylinders. These brushes along with a cross hatch sanding will assure your rings will seal properly and have adequate lubrication. Because the boring or honing process can be different based on cylinder type, please contact an engine builder to receive further instruction if you should have any questions.

Cast Iron Sleeved Cylinders:
To ensure proper ring seal, it is necessary to hone the cylinder with a rigid or brush hone. DO NOT install a new piston without honing the cylinder to break the glaze. Finish hone with a 280 grit. Cross hatch is necessary to ensure proper ring seal and adequate lubrication. If the cylinder is in good condition, simply honing the cylinder may be enough to restore the bore to an acceptable condition. However in some cases, boring may be necessary to insure the cylinder bore is within the tolerances outlined in the service manual.
Plated Cylinders:
(Includes nickel ceramic coatings (Nikasil), chrome, Electrofusion, and boron composite.) If the plated cylinder is in good condition, honing may not be necessary. If deglazing is necessary, DO NOT use a ball hone. Use a rigid or brush type diamond hone. Plated cylinders cannot be bored oversize without replating or resleeving.
Any time a cylinder is bored or honed:
All ports must be chamfered. The top of the cylinder should be deburred, and the bottom should be generously chamfered for ease of piston and ring installation. When boring a cylinder with an exhaust bridge, the face of the bridge must be relieved .002"-.004" to allow for bridge expansion. Without proper bridge clearance, engine damage could occur.
Exhaust Power Valves (2-Stroke engines):
When boring cylinders with exhaust power valves the exhaust power valve must be inspected to ensure it does not extend into the cylinder. The exhaust power valve must have approximately .015" clearance from the cylinder bore. Without proper clearance, the exhaust power valve could contact the piston and engine damage could occur. If machining the exhaust power valve is necessary, remove metal only in the area that extends into the cylinder bore.
Wiseco® began the manufacture of pistons 70 years ago when founder Clyde Wiseman started making them in his garage. The pistons he made at that time were destined for use in big bore marine engines, and like so many successful companies that began in people’s garages, word of what he was doing spread and soon he was making pistons for friends and so business began to grow. When Wiseco was officially formed in 1941 it serviced the needs of racers and powersports enthusiasts, and today the powersports sector – predominantly motorcycles and ATVs – now accounts for the largest portion of the work done by the business.
