Now your relying on the strength of some spaces. With the BCR kit once you install the mains, you deck the bottom of the block so the mains and block are flat. I know it seems a little pricey, but its not even close to a comparable product. I know how hard you mud guys are on stuff.... especially you....

I used an internal pickup with the BCR cap/girdle sytem The girdle is notched for the pickup but I would have done it myself if it wasn't. I probably would have taken off less material too. FWIW, I think 1/2" thick is about right. Three-eighths seems thin and 3/4" just excess weight. The 3/16" aluminum one on ebay was hilarious.

Turned it past 7000rpm usually and never have seen any signs of walking. Oh and it has a notch for an internal pick up.... Last edited by Diablo; 02/15/10 10:23 AM.
