Description
Product Overview
The Performance Tool W80561 3‑piece honing stone set is engineered to serve as a direct replacement for the original W80560 piston cylinder hone stones. Each stone measures 3 inches in diameter and carries a 220‑grit rating, striking a balance between material removal and surface finish that is ideal for cylinder re‑conditioning. Constructed from high‑quality abrasive composites, the stones maintain their grit integrity even after repeated cycles of use, ensuring that the cylinder walls receive a uniform, cross‑hatch pattern essential for oil retention and compression efficiency. The set is painted with a protective coating that guards against corrosion and wear, extending the service life of each stone. With a total weight of just 2.4 ounces and compact dimensions of 2.8 × 0.6 × 6.2 inches, the package is easy to handle, store, and transport, making it a practical choice for both professional workshops and dedicated hobbyists.

Usage
Designed for use on piston cylinder bores in gasoline and diesel engines, the W80561 stone set excels in applications where precise honing is required to restore or improve engine performance. Whether you are rebuilding a classic automobile, performing routine maintenance on a fleet vehicle, or fine‑tuning a high‑performance racing engine, these stones provide the consistency needed to achieve the correct surface texture. The 220‑grit level is particularly effective for creating the fine cross‑hatch pattern that promotes optimal oil film retention, reducing wear and extending engine life. Installation is straightforward: simply remove the worn stones from the W80560 hone, clean the bore, and insert the new stones, ensuring they sit flush and rotate evenly. The set’s durability allows for multiple honing cycles before replacement is necessary, making it a cost‑effective solution for workshops that demand reliability and repeatability.

FAQ
What engines are compatible with the W80561 stone set?
The set is compatible with any engine that uses the Performance Tool W80560 piston cylinder hone, which includes a wide range of gasoline, diesel, and small‑block automotive engines. Always verify the hone model before purchase.
How often should the honing stones be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and material removal. For typical rebuilds, the stones can be used for several honing cycles before grit degradation becomes noticeable. Inspect the stones regularly for wear and replace when the surface no longer produces a uniform cross‑hatch pattern.
Can I use the W80561 stones with a different brand of hone?
While the stones are designed specifically for the Performance Tool W80560 hone, they may fit other hones with similar dimensions. However, using them with non‑compatible equipment could affect performance and is not recommended.
