Thanks for that website. Now they have "block guards" is that the same thing as a deck plate? Thanks

 

Maybe - I've never heard of the terminiology "deck plate"

 

Okay, i'll look into it further then, anymore suggestions?
Thanks thus far guys!

 

No they are not the same, a block guard adds strength to the block around the combustion chamber to help prevent sleeves from cracking.

I deck plate is bolted to the deck of the block when honing. The deck plate simulates the distortion that the sleeves will have once the head is bolted on.

 

What your looking for is called a TORQUE plate.Its a steel plate about 1" thick.That you bolt to the deck of your block.

Really? I've never heard of a torque plate until now.

Unless I'm just plain wrong, a deck plate is a piece that fits between the block and the head that allows you to basically increase the deck height of the block, making it easier to run longer rods and strokers.

And from what I've read over the past year, they've only started to get popular with the H-series guys.

You are correct on this as well, but when honing a block, to insure that the sleeves are completely round, you bolt on this plate to simulate the distortion that the head will cause. Some machine shops call them torque plates, others deck plates.

Thats exactly what I need, it simulates the distortion.
