Audi Torque Plate

I had a torque plate made up for the audi cylinder block so you can bore a block truly round under head bolt tension.
as well has use it to cut open head gaskets in overbored engines so as not to have head gaskets protruding into combustion area.

Nice but very thick.. we only used a 2" piece of steel spacers and ARP head bolts.. why so thick - A400 2006-06-01 19:32:31 (228 views)

Ours is 3-4" IIRC... more mass = less vibration when machining = better results. - Tom/APR 2006-06-02 15:50:54 (148 views)

Makes sense, but any torque plate, even 1" is better than none. - A400 2006-06-03 20:42:05 (196 views)

Unless those are 10" bores doesn't look 4-5" thick to me. Maybe my old man eyes tho .. - Yippers® 2006-06-01 20:45:07 (141 views)

Just looked thicker than one we made! thought later was bcause he wanted 2 do w/o bolt spacers - A400 2006-06-02 11:43:52 (164 views)

Well, we all know that it's impossible to do it better once you've done it. - Mike O. 2006-06-08 07:31:27 (138 views)
