SKU: BHJLBH-1
MPN: LBH-1
The BHJ Dampers Lifter Bore Honing Kit gives engine builders a purpose-built tool for final-sizing and finish-honing lifter bores across Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, and Jesel applications. Covering a diameter range from 0.843 inch through 0.937 inch, this rigid-style hone handles both standard and tall-deck blocks without requiring multiple specialized tools. We carry this kit for builders who need precise bore geometry and consistent surface finish when installing new lifter bushings or correcting wear damage. The LBH-1 operates with any 1/2-inch drive variable-speed drill, making it accessible for both professional shops and serious home builders.
BHJ engineered this hone with a friction thimble and feed wedge system that allows controlled diameter adjustment during operation. The kit ships with one complete hone assembly, two honing stones in coarse and fine grits, one stone shim for wear compensation, and four shoe sizes covering the most common lifter bore diameters: 0.843, 0.875, 0.906, and 0.937 inch. Additional shoes are available separately in larger sizes including 1.000, 1.032, 1.062, 1.095, and 1.125 inch, plus custom diameters for specialized applications. The rigid design maintains true bore alignment compared to flexible ball hones, which matters when you need precise oil clearances on roller lifters. Everything stores in a foam-padded plastic case that protects the stones and shoes between jobs.
This kit earns its place on the workbench during any serious block prep where lifter bores need correction after shot blasting, bushing installation, or wear repair. The ability to switch between coarse and fine stones means you can remove material quickly, then finish to proper surface texture in one setup. For builders working through multiple engine combinations, check our complete engine-related tools selection and shop tools inventory. We stock the consumables and accessories that keep specialty equipment like the LBH-1 working job after job.
The LBH-1 covers 0.843 through 0.937 inch diameter lifter bores using the four included shoes. BHJ offers additional shoes for larger diameters up to 1.125 inch, plus custom sizes for specialized applications beyond the standard range.
The kit accommodates lifter bores in Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, and Jesel engine blocks. The design also works with tall-deck blocks, making it suitable for both standard production engines and aftermarket performance applications.
The LBH-1 requires a 1/2-inch drive variable-speed drill. Variable speed control is important for proper honing technique, allowing you to adjust RPM based on material removal needs and desired surface finish.
Rigid hones like the LBH-1 maintain true bore alignment and remove material more consistently than flexible ball hones. This matters for lifter bores where precise geometry and oil clearance directly affect lifter function and longevity.
The complete kit includes the rigid hone assembly with friction thimble and feed wedge, two honing stones in coarse and fine grits, one stone shim, four shoes in standard sizes, and a foam-padded plastic storage case.
