Any of the engine builders on here have any thoughts on the relative benefits in Bolting on a torque plate to represent the torqued down head, when reboring a block for racing purposes?

Engine in question is a venerable A-series (998 A+) and I'm trying to build the engine to get wring every last ounce out of it (High rpm NA unit).

Thoughts please...

So that is one for... and one against.

Dave - quite of alot of oppinion in your post - any factual information that suggests a torque plate can increase bore accuracy. You mentioned that the main areas of ovality would be in the top few thou of the bore and weren't significant enough to have an effect on power. Anybody else support this theory, seems pretty sound.
