- Well this week, something a little different. I get to make some things for myself. There are never enough tools, or time. These are Torque Plates for doing Evo's and Twin Cam Cylinders. Lapping plates, for Stock size and Big Bore Evo's, and make myself a jig for holding Shovelhead Cylinders so I can Bore and Hone them out as well. Let us know what ya think!

Everyone always needs more tools. Let us know what you think.
I never used a torque plate or knew what they were for. After watching this it makes sense to hone or bore. Good video, Thanks!
Glad I could help you understand what they are for. Thanks for commenting.
Outstanding work, Ralph!
Thanks so much. I know its not Shovelhead stuff, but it was nice to finally find time to make them. Thanks for commenting. Appreciated.
Thanks Ralph, I appreciate it !
Glad I could help. You are welcome.
I love this stuff I grew up drag racing big block Chevy's good content enjoyed it
Thank you very much. It is a bit different stuff for my channel but I do enjoy making things and hope others will enjoy seeing them made once in a while. Thanks for commenting.
You are an amazing machinist Ralph. I made a clutch hub puller. It's ugly as homemade sin, but it worked 😂😂😂 I finally broke down and bought a proper one 😅
Don't know about that, but to cheap to buy something if I think I can make it. As long as it works. sometimes yo have to give in though and buy a real one. Thanks for commenting Hip. Appreciated!
Very informative as usual , I wish I had mill & lathe , one day maybe 🤔
Thanks glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
😎👍😎
Long hardened bolts are also available at caterpillar tractor...
Thanks for the info I will keep it in mind if I need them. I can only use one set at a time though ha ha. Thanks for commenting.
Neetoo ..,.🏍️👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
when Troc died some guy bought the business but he didn't last very long too bad it was good stuff
Trock made some very special tools and it is sad that his work was not continued. They are still useful, and in demand today. Thanks for commenting.
You did an excellent job on this video.. it would have been nice to see where/how you marked the hole locations... from the video it looked like you used a head gasket to get the hole placements... but I am not sure that is what you did... still this is top notch info to see.
I used my original Torque plate for the Evo ones and used a head gasket for the Twin Cam hole positions. Thanks for commenting.
@@itsmytimeletsgo Thanks
I'm an old boilermaker and really respect anyone with these old machining skills, Just a question could the lapping plate hole be mostly done with a large holesaw or even oxy cut out then bored to size?, I just looking at all the good metal turning to swarf gave me anxiety LOL.
Yes I could have used either way, if I had the tools or oxy. Just old school doing it the hard way ha ha. Thanks for commenting.
What I was needing to know is how to figure what ring gap formula I need because I'm installing a 95' big bore on my 88' twin cam. thanks
A rule of thumb is take your Bore size and multiply it by .004 and that will get you pretty close. ie: BS= 3.5 X .004 = .014". Hope that helps. Thanks for the question.
Great video & great content, Quick question, if you don't mind? What formula do you use to come up with your ring gap. I heard , bore size x .0065 Thanks.
The measurement was just to get it a bit larger than the bottom of the cylinder flange, had nothing to do with ring gap. Thanks for commenting.
