File fitting piston rings with torque plate installed


I don’t see any information on this topic but if you wanna squeeze every last bit of power out I recommend torque plate honing your cylinders and performing the file fitting of the rings while the torque plates are installed. This is straight from total seal’s instructions. Just wanted to share.
Happy motoring!
