definately not necessary. unless it is doweled and heavily machined after the block girdle is installed, it will do more harm than good

Do the mains always need to be machined (align honed) after or are they sometimes ok??

I have the Z-10 girdle and my mains and girdle have already been doweled but I havnt assembled the engine yet (still needs to be sleeved).
