Nashua, NHSAVING YOUR STONES
On the Sunnen CK-type honing head, the
stones are a one shot install. We all have that
box of good single stones though and various
ways to reuse them. I take a single strand of
copper wire and lay it in the “teeth” of the
stone holder and then re-insert a used stone.
Snug again. You can make pairs and use up
good single stones.Ron Flood

On LS crankshafts we are balancing, I always
use a tone ring alignment tool to check that
the alignment is correct. Then, we place two
equally spaced welds to ensure the ring stays
aligned. High rpm LS engines have been
known to spin the tone ring.Jake Sampson
