Best bet is to call sunnen tech line .  You want keyway mandrels for the machine.  $500 to $700 each
Jeff why keyway mandrels I have been in a few engine shops that do 2 stroke work and looked at there sunnen mandrels and the mandrels most of them have are  just a single stone mandrel.
 I would just like to use the Sunnen JN hone I have with the right stones to hone the bores. I am not building top notch engines I just want to build a engine that runs well and lives plus most of the mac parts I have are old wiped race parts. 
Maybe my question should have been what grit stoned to use. 
jeff there is a little bit of art & science to honing engine bores.
