Professional Cylinder Honing with LSX Torque Plates

Achieving the perfect cylinder bore finish is impossible without the use of a torque plate. The ICT Billet LSX 6-Bolt Torque Plate is designed to simulate the stress placed on the engine block by the cylinder heads when torqued to specification. By bolting this plate onto your block during the honing process, you ensure that the cylinder walls are perfectly round and straight under actual operating conditions. This is a must-have tool for any engine builder aiming for maximum ring seal and performance.

Key Features for Engine Builders

• 6-Bolt Design: Specifically engineered to accommodate the 6-bolt LSX block configuration.
• Material: Heavy-duty aluminum construction for stability and heat dissipation.
• Accuracy: Prevents cylinder wall distortion during the boring and honing process.
• Performance: Ensures optimal piston ring seal, resulting in increased compression and horsepower.
• Finish: Natural finish, built to withstand the rigors of a professional machine shop environment.

Using a torque plate is the difference between a standard rebuild and a high-performance engine build. Without it, the cylinder bores can distort once the heads are torqued down, leading to blow-by and loss of power. This tool provides the precision required for high-boost or high-RPM applications where ring seal is paramount. Invest in the right equipment to ensure your engine build lasts.
