Main Girdle is it worth it??

skiwesser · 05-02-2003, 12:48 AM

I'm planning on a rebuild of my motor.

I'll only be doing a .030 overbore w/forged pistons.

I'll prob. stick with my ported E7's for now for $$ reasons

but I may add a mild cam & spray it with about a 150 shot.

What do you guys think about these girdles?

Should I get the rotating assembly balanced?

The heads were also milled .035

It doesn't really stiffen the rotating assembly. What it's job is, is that it keeps everything together if there is a failure like cracking a block. Aluminum ones are supposed to be better because they absorb vibrations. Me personally, am putting one on my motor for insurance. ~Brian
