Making a torque plate

Hey guys,

In the quest for a perfectly round cylinder bore for
my GTi-R motor, I have looked into having a torque
plate made locally.  One option that I have considered
is taking a spare junked head and having a machine
shop cut out the combustion chambers all the way
through the head.  I would then bolt this head onto
the block and it would serve the same function as a
torque plate.  Can anyone give me any reason why this
will not work?

Thanks a lot,
