Machine Shop Basics - The Engine Block
|
A quality shop will probably choose to use torque plates that bolt to the block and simulate a cylinder head. If the plates are in place and torqued to the same specification as the cylinder heads, the distortion caused by the tightened fasteners will be duplicated while the block is being machined. Should an engine be honed without a torque plate in place, the bore distortion could affect ring seal once the heads are torqued on. View Related Article
