[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 125370, member: 3426"] Cost is certainly a consideration and one normally has to stick to some sort of budget/estimate when doing retail work. I can’t imagine how a machine shop could justify twice the price for using the torque plates. It’s basically two plates four studs and some nuts tightened with a torque wrench. I can’t see what would complicate the process from that point on. 5 minutes to install and a couple to remove it. Pistons and rings are light years ahead and personally I would strive to make the cylinder as round and true as possible to take full advantage of that. Equally important to me, is understanding exactly what is occurring. It may turn out that the gain is borderline, but if I don’t know for sure what difference the torque plates make its hard to make a decision about whether they are worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
