I have yet to find a place in Toronto that rent out a torque plate for the ka24de…  
I’m trying to avoid having one made.

Can anyone point me to the right direction?  
thx

A torque plate is bolted to a short block when honing/boring out a block. It duplicates the torque applied when you bolt down an engine head. It makes for more accurate boring/honing.
