What's a torque plate?

when you re-bore an engine especially an alloy block with liners you really need to simulate then load applied when your heads torqued up as it does cause distortion but you cannot bore an engine with the head on so you use a torque plate which does the same as a head but has holes in to allow boring of the cylinders, you should also have your mains caps and cradle torqued up as well

Is it necessary or just adviced? My dad rebored his old celica, if hes got some/one ill go nick them/it and stick on ebay :wack:

Hope your taking pics? lol

Is this only suitable for 90mm pistons or can it be used for any size mate?

any size and both size head bolts, if your going big power there a must along with you main caps being torqued up as well:nod: and as im using mazworx 1/2 head bolts there extra torque will cause more distortion:)
