Hi,
Was just wondering what the going rate is for a bore and hone. I've got a standard bore 202 that i'm looking at taking out to 30 or 40 thou so I can fit some new pistons. Also is a torque plate bore and hone a must?
I'm in Melbourne, south east suburbs around Dandenong, Frankston and Cranbourne area so if anyone can recommend somewhere around there that would be good.
Thanks
How much for a bore and hone?

depends on what power you are searching for if your goign big then torque plate is the way to go
not sure of any engine builders down that way
cavehill engines in lilydale do it i think
and speed works in ringwood probably do

A hone (or maybe it was a bore) when i inquired a few years back, was about $80 a cylinder i think. Prices would have gone up in that time i reckon...
Ring around a few places and see. Warby engines in Cranny do a good job.

I might be wrong but isn't a torque plate something you buy and bolt on?
This price wouldn't include that.

Ian has my respect too as an engine builder but I don't know how he finds anything in there.
Unless things have changed in 20 yrs?

It�s a thick plate that bolts to the deck and it gets torqued up to head bolt specs so that there is no distortion whilst boring + honing. It keeps the cylinder walls straight.

some times a 40-60thou over bore might be dearer as they have to bore the block twice.you cant rip a virgin bore motor out to 60thou in one hit. so its best to ask your machine shop

Not quite right, the torque plate is for the bolts to distort the bore so when you hone it the finish replicates the head clamped in place.
