I'm looking to rent (or buy) a RB motor torque plate to be used while boring/honing my block.

If anyone know of one here in the US, please let me know...I'll pay a finders fee...:D $$

Also, funny thing is, I lay a HKS metal HG off my L6 z car block on top of the RB block, and all the headbolts/ bores line up, so, I think I could use a L24/26/28 TP on a RB block....:confused:

hey, as long as the bolt holes line up, and theres clearance for the cutter in the bores, i dont see why it wouldnt work.

all your doing is applying torque to the bolt holes so that the bores are straight and unwarped.

if the L torque plate lines up correctly, you could use it. i dont see any reason why you couldnt.

I just went out and made tripple sure this was indeed a fact, and I can say 100% for sure that the L6 HG lines up perfect with the RB headbolts and bores.... so... looks like it'll be a little easier to find a TP...:ylsuper

Sounds good... but I have no idea how to do it where everyone will be pleased....

If anyone comes up with a plan, I'd consider doing it that way...

Hey Mack, on another subject, what about a RB20 rear sump? I keep getting the "sorry out of stock" from McKinney MS. Is there a way to get one of these from another source other than the one you guys have?

thanksjoel

I just sent one back to a guy from FA. He charged $50 + shipping both ways and a deposit. His email is [email protected] and his name is Joe.
