I have one I use anytime I do a HG repair work, and a new one "standing by"..... no, they do not hurt the block. It allows to better the surface finish on the block (or head) surface for the use of regular or metal head gaskets and ensure surface straightness since the stone length is bigger than the block/head width.... + you have different grit sides..... coarse and fine.
