Where to find a Torque Honing Plate
Starting to locate sources for the special tools I will be needing to assemble the LT5 stroker motor I've got in the works. To go the 402 CID route with the 4.0" crank I have 4.0" liners will be required. Anybody have a good suggestion on where I can borrow, rent, or otherwise acquire reasonably a 4.0" torque honing plate for an LT5? Right now I'm thinking of using an local motor machine shop that is well versed in automotive engine liner installations but unfortunately they do not have a LT5 torque plate on hand for finishing the liners once they are installed in the block. Found a source for a BJH plate here: http://www.cylinderheadsupply.com/6604.html
No doubt a nice plate but a lot of $$ for just one engine build. Would prefer to spend the money elsewhere if possible. Thanks, Phil |

Re: Where to find a Torque Honing Plate
Hi Phil
For that price you might be better off sending the motor to someone like Marc or Ryan to have it honed and shipped back to you. Just an idea. See you at BG  Pete

Re: Where to find a Torque Honing Plate
I found a local machine shop with a water jet table.
Can anyone help me out with a cad drawing of the cut out in either dwg or dxf format? My guess is a head gasket would do for a pattern. |

Re: Where to find a Torque Honing Plate
Yun put together this fine drawing based on a sketch I drew up from the block deck drawing Jerry provided and measuring a head gasket.
Can someone who has made one of these before look it over and let me know if I have missed anything? Thanks, Phil
