While torque plates do pre-load and create bore distortion, thereby providing data that enables improved honing precision, the process of hot honing (using torque plates) appears to create and ...

Torque Plate. I am in the process ... A torque plate simulates the cylinder bore’s distortion, thus allowing the machine shop to hone the cylinders with the simulated distortion.

Assembling the 400 Small Block. The smart move would have been to bore and torque-plate-hone the block. But since the push was to hit this short-block cheaply, we decided to stick with the game ...

So if a 6.6L (402ci) Duramax can make 750 hp and 1,400 lb-ft of torque, we'll divide 750 hp and 1,400 lb-ft of torque by 402ci to get 1.865672 hp and 3.482587 lb-ft per cubic inch. See All 23 Photos ...
