Bit of a newbie honing plate question,
When an engine is being honed with them, does it need a plate torqued down on both banks? Or just on the side being honed?
I realise that While cast iron isn't as ridged as granite, (Hence using honing plates) but it is standard practise to have the main caps torqued down as well.
So does the "Other" bank effect the one being worked on?
I'm about the start trying to find a shop who has some. But mopar stuff isn't as common here. (Lots of chev and ford shite) So if I draw a blank I'll have to get a mate to make me one. (Or two?)
