Stud Girdle

[bszopi]

Oh, so now you are being picky! First, you aren't clear in what you want, and then you aren't clear for what application....

Oh yeah, and Gen II guys are splayed valves as well.... I think we have you outnumbered!

Re: Stud Girdle

Before I make my on does anyone know of an avalible stud girdle for the old iron heads? If it is not to expensive I'll buy one. Otherwise I am gonna make one when I go back to school. Just for a fun project.

Um I think I did state what I wanted clearly

I first thought this was talking about mains as well. *shrug*

Anyway, splayed valve girdles are not that un heard of, look at BBC, or Twisted Wedge Probe heads for SBF, splayed valve AND available stud girdles.

There is another way of making the girdle, that I have seen, uses a single bar in the middle and then a U bolt to wrap around the stud.

Anyway, I'd love to have one for my genIII heads, I just don't see it happening anytime soon, mostly due to availeb space in and around the rocker arm.

Yea
The only probem I see on mine is V-cover clearance. On Gen II/III it would be really hard to fabricate on your own unless you had a really sweet machine shop.

I think that is just a distribution company.

I thought Jessel had a rocker stud girdle too ? didnt they?

Will would know

I've always wanted one for what I want to do with the engine But with the splayed Alum heads it would be a bitch.

You bastards and your simple inline valve Iron heads :P

Everything has its pros and cons I guess.
