Engine Block Honing
For Optimum Piston Ring Seal
Torque Plate Hone
For better quality and precision, an engine block torque plate is used for honing. The torque plate simulates a head being bolted to the block. The block is stressed similar to after assembly. Honing with a torque plate is more important for some engines than others.
Torque Plate Hone (Aluminum Alcohol or Fuel Block)
For better quality and precision, a torque plate is used for honing. The torque plate simulates a head being bolted to the block. The block is stressed similar to after assembly. Honing with a torque plate is more important for some engines than others. All Aluminum Alcohol or Fuel blocks require more setup time and precision. The machining process is different from other race or street engines.
Hone Alcohol Block (Without Torque Plates)
For better quality and precision, a torque plate is used for honing. The torque plate simulates a head being bolted to the block. The block is stressed similar to after assembly. Honing with a torque plate is more important for some engines than others. All Aluminum Alcohol or Fuel blocks require more setup time and precision. The machining process is different from other race or street engines.
