Quote: don't waste time with oem caps. the main benefirt of caps designed to work with a girdle is that they contact at their center just below the crank. when all is said and done, your stack up should be crank, bearing, main cap, girdle, not crank, bearing, main cap, air gap, girdle. i will post some pics today of what i'm talking about. also our girdles are 1/2" thick plate steel. alot of the other on the market are thinner and not as strong.
Certainly a nice kit but it's well over $1000 for one of your kits installed. Seems like a waste to put all the money into a stock block that could still crack.
