Achieve the highest level of bore accuracy and cylinder geometry integrity in your engine block work with the Choate Engineering Performance Billet Torque Plate. This essential tool is designed to accurately simulate the mechanical stresses applied by the cylinder head during the honing process of a Duramax engine block. Invest in the right tooling to eliminate costly warranty issues and guarantee reliable horsepower for your customers.

Components and Parts:

• Billet Torque Plate: Heavy-duty construction from high-grade billet material engineered for decades of professional use.

• Engine-Specific Fit: Precision-machined to perfectly match the bore and bolt pattern of the Duramax diesel engines.

• Application: Mandated use for block preparation, specifically during the cylinder honing procedure.

 

Key Features

• Guaranteed Piston Ring Seal: A precise, undistorted bore is the foundation of a reliable engine. Correcting bore distortion ensures the piston rings can seal perfectly, maximizing compression efficiency and drastically reducing chronic blow-by—a critical factor in engine longevity and customer satisfaction.

• Eliminates Warranty Risk: By ensuring cylinder geometry is perfect under load, you minimize the risk of accelerated wear on cylinder walls and piston skirts, directly translating to fewer comebacks and more profitable remanufacturing processes.

• Professional Grade: This is a non-negotiable investment for any serious shop specializing in Race/High-Performance Duramax builds or high-volume remanufacturing where quality control is paramount.

• Tool Longevity: Crafted for ultimate durability and flatness, providing reliable performance through thousands of cycles.

 

Machining Process:

This essential shop tool is Precision CNC Machined from a substantial block of high-grade billet material. Its design is engineered to maintain ultimate strength and deck flatness through repeated use, ensuring consistency across every block you process.

• Mechanical Stress Simulation: The plate's mass and rigid construction are calibrated to accurately simulate the clamping force and distortion induced by the cylinder head upon final engine assembly.

• Dimensional Correction: Bolting this plate to the deck before and during the honing procedure is the only way to correct the bore distortion that naturally occurs under load, resulting in a truly round cylinder bore when the engine is assembled.
