Think about the angle of the rods, top top dead center the rods are all straight up and down. Half way through the stroke all the rods are at an angle. This is why people talk about rod ratio and engine wear.

A torque plate has nothing to do with this.

If you don't trust your machinist, check your piston to wall clearance before you run the motor.
