Explain the use of torque plates.

What will be an ideal response?


Torque plates are used during the boring and honing process. Torque plates set up the stress that results in dimensional changes when the cylinder head is bolted on. The block will change shape when the plates are removed and return to the same dimensions again when the head is mounted. This provides a true shape for an assembled engine.
