I wonder if we should have a "how to do it" section on the forum for articles like head posting etc. I know there is a tech section off the home page but people don't seem to find it. Just a thought Jim? Chuck in NH

Heads are C0AE, so they are posted. Question about ARP studs: What stud would be long enough to reach up to oil pan attaching level from main bolt holes and even ½ to 1 inch above the oil pan level to bolt main girdle between the block and the oil pan?

For the main support girdles, I’m using studs and hardware found in the Granger catalog.  They are coarse threaded on both ends.  On these, there’s enough thread to torque the main caps down without the girdle in place and then with the proper spacers, lay the girdle on top of those nuts and then another set of nuts to hold the girdle in place.  Double nutted when the assembly is in place.  When cutting out the girdle, if you’ll leave some material in the girdle on the engines right side, you’ll incorporate some windage control into the girdle.  Here’s a picture.

Jep, we are planning very similar set up, exept that we are going to fab new main caps tall enough to touch that girdle and then just bolt all together.

Ted that girdle looks very nice. What thickness of metal are you using?

Ted, do you happen to have any girdles to sell or is it possible to make more of those. You sure have the drawings and it might be even cheaper to buy from you than discover the wheel again and manufacture those here in Finland .

Ted, I would also like to piggy back on these requests for a girdle.  If we are going to step up the speed on these Y-Blocks (especially turbocharged), we need to do everything possible to hold them together for a WOT three mile ride.
