I say yes, those ERL girdles are very nice. Give Sean a call at ERL and he would be happy to explain why they reccomend these. Honda implemented a form of this on the K series engines with the split crank case. Im sure it was done for a reason.

Block has darton sleeves in it. Only reason I ask cause its gonna set me back a little on getting the car done.

I will be pushing close to 40 psi and whatever power I make.

I just dont want to go through bearings. I do have arp main studs in there now.

my GT4067 has .81 a/r

I think dart blocks have stronger and bigger main caps. I think they're different material than factory.
