bought a girdle off ebay, and had it cut down to .300 . wish I`d taken it down to .250 tho. arp main studs-align honed , block and mains cryo treated. went to install the hughs (trick) rear seal cap while I was in there. got it all back together and the back oil pan bolt holes in the trick cap were drilled wrong. 'PANIC' , pulled it back apart and cleaned everything up before the rite stuff started setting up. dammit ray! (old indian saying) --- this is somewhat of a pain in drain, w/ the shims trying to fall off the main studs. used white food grade grease to hold them up while the girdle was (is ) off.
