And why was it bored without a torque plate? A torque plate insures that the cylinders don't walk and be mis aligned during boring. It simulates the heads being torqued on the block.
Torque plates are unnecessary during the boring process. They are used during the honing process. That is where we remove the last .002-.004" from the bore. I don't understand your comment on how a cylinder could "walk" around or become misaligned. The block is held very rigid thru the mains and does not move when boring
Nice to see a 350 Buick instead of the common Chevy engine
