Well, if you are looking at honing let's say, Harley jugs. THen that is not what you are looking for. What you got there, although hard to see from a simple photo, is a BRAKE cylinder honing kit. Much smaller that the needed 3 1/2 inch.

Ask him what the capacity is.

If the Mac site says it's for brakes, I would assume that is what it is for, clearly this will not do you any good for engine work, unless the engine has mighty small cylinders! You should be able to get replacement stones at any reputable auto parts store though.

This is for caliper pistons if you want to install new square cut seals or just clean them out.

I have a 3 stone hone from sears, Works well, wasnt that much money. Just remember, you need to "break in" the stones before you use them, otherwise you will just hack up the cylinder walls. I have a small car fire extinguisher I found and cut the top and bottom off of. Its also how I store it. You just need to take the sharp corners of the stones before you try to hone, otherwise youll just make a mess of the cylinder. The adjustable hones are nice, but you may also want to look into a flex hone. They are only for a specific size of cylinders (you need to order the size for your bore) but they give nice results. I do different size bores, so Id go broke at 40$ a pop for them, having to buy 3 or 4.

That whole tool is about 8 inches long. It fits inside a drum brake slave cylinder with a diameter of about 1 inch.
