I have been watching the “Low-Deck Super Block” thread with great interest. It is an interesting proposition. The suggestions for a new and improved race block are very creative. But I do have a question. Why are big block Mopars plagued with cap walk and Chevys are not? Does the Mopar block simply lack the sufficient clamping force capabilities that the 4 bolt Chevy main caps have to prevent cap movement? Cap walk seems to be an ever-growing problem that more and more racers are experiencing. What is the actual cause of cap walk? I know that things such as detonation contribute to the result (damage), but exactly why is it happening?
