Quick question about installing a ITR girdle on an LS bottom end??
Ok, i have a built LS bottom end. I want to re-use my itr windage tray and pick-up but i need the girdle for the oil pick up to properly bolt to.
That being said, how had is it to install the girdle on my LS crank caps. Would i have to replace the bearings or could i "sneak" it on there and just re-torque the main bolts?

You'll need ITR/GSR main caps I believe for the girdle to work. Can't use 3 of the 5 LS mains when doing this.

If I could find the article I could help you but there is an article floating around here that shows what all needs to be done and how to do it. Very detailed. Try searching for it or maybe someone else will know what im talking about.

you can use the gsr caps and line hone after
or you can grind a little of the stock caps in order for the girdle to sit flush, install dowels it and line hone.

Align-honing may not be needed.
On my B18A block, I used the ITR main caps and girdle, and nothing needed align-honed. Wound up being perfect.
