looking for a little clarification here........i'm thinking that the girdle is just extra support or strength for your crank bearings to prevent the typical cracking on the block....am i right? sorry if it sounds stupid but i just wasn't positive and was hoping for an answer
I'm also wondering if its better to have the girdle or the splayed main caps.......i'd rather not take it to the machine shop because i'm not planning on doing a full rebuild just yet.
also curious if something like the girdle is easy to install, and are they rather readily available?
if adding the girdle is a good way to ensure i don't crack my block i'm thinking i should do it while i have the engine out of my truck.
thanks in advance for any advice
