What's a torque plate?

Ok no problem. I have the pistons and other stuff ready have the trans mount coming tomorrow and I have made a few extra torque plates already to go.

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

i see i was wondering myself so basically it replicates the head being on when its not? 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

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 and as im using mazworx 1/2 head bolts there extra torque will cause more distortion
