Finally making some progress. Hopefully Monday, I can get the heads cleaned up and bolted down.

Then it'll be getting close to time to yank the old tired 5 liter out of the Banana.

How does a girdle work if it doesn't even touch the caps?

These motors are 4bolt main with 2 side screws, so the caps don't walk too much. Tymensky (Mike I believe) even reported that with his power level, bigbore and 9500rpms, they've not seen a need for them as well. MHO, all the girdle does is add $400 to the cost of building your motor, and puts the oil 1/2" further away from the pickup.
