Default Drawing needed for torque plate
Machine shop is making me a torque plate. As I'm too lazy to measure it myself, does someone have a drawing showing the head stud, and cylinder bore locations?

I'm in Canada, so shipping is $$. This machine shop does a lot of work for me, so they're making it for me basically free.

Haha. Well, the reality is the machine shop said they could start it today if I give them the measurements, and I don't have an engine here at work to measure.

I was thinking the same thing myself, but I gave up mid thought and took a nap.

It simulates what bolting on the head would do to the block. You use this while boring the cylinders.
