I need tourqe plates.

The cylinders distort when you torque the heads on the block. The best possible piston ring seal is obtained by ensuring that the block is equally distorted when the cylinder walls are honed. Obviously you can't hone the cylinders with the heads in place, so instead you use torque plates, which are thick pieces of steel or cast iron that are designed to bolt to the block deck surface in place of the heads and which have holes in them to allow access for the hone.
To the O.P.: where are you located?
