Thanks bump for anyone who had to notch specificly a y8's girdle

 

Almost everytime that I've seen a girdle need to be notched it was ona z6 not a y8. Anyone ever notch a y8???

 

I have a Y8 with eagle rods and the girdle did not need to be notched.

 

Im thinking the y8 clears and the z6 doesnt anyone else have any information on this????

 

usualy with the arp rodbolts it has to be notched, but im not 100% sure on the y8's though.

 

y8,eagle,arp bolts here.

no need to notch the girdle

 

had to notch my z6..

 

So it seems that the z6 girdle needs to be notched and the y8 clears. Anyone else with a y8 or z6 that needed to notch.

 

my y8 was notched, my eagle rods had the bigger bolts, and wouldnt clear.

 

you had to notch with the ARP custom age 625+ bolts

with the upgraded ARP 2000 (the ones you torque to 43 FT/LBS) you do not need to notch a Y8

i have a built y8 but i forgot if my engine builder had to notch my girdle or not, but i do know for sure that the block had to be notched

 

z6, Eagle rods, 3/8" ARP's, girdle had to be notched here

 

So it seems the z6 girld edosent clear and the y8 girdle does clear. So has anyone ever compared the two. Pics maybe???
