If tight rough-out with 180 grade Alumina Zirconia and for finishing use 240 grade Aluminium Oxide.
Z grain alumina zirconia is what we use - a bit more durable than silicon carbide. When the hones get worn you can run them backwards but be careful - doing that gives a high removal rate..

- Honing new GC guides for fit on a set of good-used & overhauled valves. Drill does 1100rpm and engine oil is the honing fluid. The grade of hone is indicated by the color on the tip of the wire stalk - not the red band below the hones.
