It was not done with a torque plate. He doesn't have one for a Pontiac. When he tested leakdown with the new rings he told me that he did it with just the head bolts for the bad cylinder snugged down, and then again with all the head bolts torqued, and got the same results. I am assuming that was to see if cylinder is distorted.

Pontiac bores distort a lot if you do not do a proper bore and hone.
