If it's a Bosch it wouldn't surprise me if it's bad mine went bad sitting over the winter while my motor was getting rebuilt. Lucky enough I had a wideband to confirm that but I also switched to sd2 from turbotweak.
I appreciate everyone's input I will definitely be having him use a torque plate just figuring out details on him making one or buying one. I see the link of the place that makes them which is about an hour away from me. I will contact them on Monday.
Thank you great advice I will be seeing him again tomorrow as I forgot a few parts he will need. So I will make mention of a few things to him. He was the one that brought the plate up to me and I was unsure of the answer.
I understand what your getting at and not trying to argue but there is not any Buick shops near me. I don't doubt the shop that is doing the work. He has the plates for v8 Buicks it just v6 are not common around here at all.
Ok is there anyone that happens to rent any by chance? The machine shop that is doing the work doesn't have a set. He said he could make them but to do it for one build he said just will add more to the bill.
Hey guys just wondering when boring our blocks are deck plates needed? Just don't want the cylinders to warp when torqueing the heads down and all the machine work I paid for go out the window.
So I also posted this on Facebook on a GN page and someone believes it was a gentleman that smoked big cigars and also was big 15 to 20 years ago. He seen him at nationals when it was in hebron ohio. Don't know if someone has any idea on that.
