Does anyone have a torque plate they are willing to rent out to me? I am willing to pick up within a reasonable distance from Louisville, KY. Or might pay for some shipping.

Why would you install internals, before machining the engine. Plus a torque plate is for boring and honing of cylinders. What exactly needs to be done on this engine?

Maybe he means he has his parts "in" as in hand?

You should have played with him for a wile, instead of spitting it right out there. I was having a good laugh when I was reading his post :rofl:

It is not that I cannot rent one, it is I will not rent one. You see, I manufacture them for sale, so if I rented them, I would be shooting myself in the foot.
