I agree works for me perfectly every time no more than .002 if your able to make yourself a torque plate the final results will be even better. The first torque plate I had was simply made from an 8BA head that we resurfaced. I used a big hole saw to cut out the tops of the cylinders this allowed the hone to get to the bores which on that first block was only 3-3/8 plus.030. The iron pile under that block was HUGE. The engine wasn't very good on economy but she sure was fast.
