Re: what exactly does a girdle do
are you serious? Hes referring to an engine block...and to be a little more specific, it stabilizes the main bearing journals (number 2,3, and 4)

Re: what exactly does a girdle do
girdles get mixed opinions here. Some people swear by 'em and some people say they do more harm then good (some how). I personally wouldnt bother but if you'd feel safer winding out a motor with a girdle then go for it.

Re: what exactly does a girdle do
IMO I dont feel they are needed unless you plan to specifically road race the car. Those cars tend to be in the upper rpm range for extended periods of time. Most of the drag cars on here dont have em. I thought about putting one on my newest build and still I chose not to. That couple of hundred bucks IMO opinion can be better spent elsewhere. Dont forget you have to use a gsr pan, pickup, and need an align hone after its installed
