y2k2gt Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have bought my own torque plate and will rent it out. After my latest aluminum block was bored the bores were all straight and round. Once the plate was torqued down the bores were up to 3.5 thousandths out of round. Installed the plate and honed them to size. After the hone they were straight. Pulled the plate off and they were then out of round again. Torqued the plate back down and they were straight again. So, I would recommend using one if you plan to make any real power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
