Re: Engine Building-What Products?
The main girdle piece looks nice, but I think they might want to torque the main studs to spec then see if they still have this problem.
" Torquing the main bolts to as much as 55ft-lbs didn’t help this at all."
The spec for ARP mains (10mm 190,000psi stud) is 60 lb/ft which is only 75% or the yield strength, they could try going a little more than 60 lb/ft to see if that helps. Also if they installed arps they should have line honed the block. If I have to make a piece like that I would integrate a windige tray into it.
