>From what I've learned so far in my short automotive machining career,
boring with torque plates is unnecessary - and with many boring
machines could cause bore misalignment.  You should use torque plates
when you hone the cylinders, after boring.  Normally you'd leave around
.003" to hone - more than enough material to "straigten" to compensate
for any distortion that the torqued head would contribute...
