We put this in the Networking section, but wanted a lot of the engine guys that don't frequent that part of the forums to see this too. Mike G. and I are renting out our torque plates. Contact me for the VG30E and contact Mike_GruiZinga for the VG33E.
Torque Plate rental $100 deposit + $75 rental fee.
Torque plates are designed to simulate a head being bolted to the block and allowing you to bore it that way. When a head is bolted to the block, it "pulls" it into a slightly different shape than when there is nothing bolted to the block. Using a torque plate ensures that your bores are true and straight WHILE the head is torqued down! This promotes ring seal and less piston wear which translates to more power produced. I will rent out my torque plate with bores and bolt pattern for a VG30E block, Total up front cost is $175 for it to be shipped to you (continental U.S. only). You will receive $100 back after you have returned the torque plate. You will obviously be held responsible for damages done to the torque plate.
If a VG33E torque plate is needed, you can contact Mike_GruiZinga for the same fee as I have stated.
This is a good option for anyone who only plans on building an engine once and will have no need for a torque plate after that.
Here is the VG33 Torque Plate for rental. It is perfect for VG34's, and might work on larger (let me know your bore size). Its 6061 billet, CNC machined. The two extra holes are for block dowels.
Sorry its blurry, apparently too shiny for my camera?
