Dan:
I remember that thread, too.
I don't know if the sonic stress relief works, but the theory makes some
sense. I do know that thermal stress relief works for most parts.

Subject: stress relief
(Personally, I don't understand why folks like the Pettys don't just get a
new "raw" block-- before machining-- and then carefully stress relieve it in
a furnace. THEN machine it.)
I think about a year ago someone pointed us to a web site that had pictures
of
engine blocks being prepped for machining by sticking a bunch of them in
some
kind of sonic machine to relieve the stress.
