Torque plate...as in for the head? Are you getting it line bored or what? I didn't think there was enough flex in the blox to even need that.

From the factory (german oem car/truck) they dont use torque plates as far as i know i could be wrong but i dont believe so.

You always want to use a torque plate imho it'll give you a better round, very very precise round. especially with high performance in mind

p.s.
it's not 100% necessary but in my case it is! haha
