I can understand that with you version you have designed it so that the original caps do not have to be touched, making it 'bolt on'.
The design of the other girdle which uses machined main caps has been proven to work and has been in used for several years with many championship winning YB engines.

hi steve
if the problem is the main caps ,why not just fit some big billet caps surely that would be easier and cheaper than what julian does ,my system was just meant as a helping hand it was never meant to make the block bullet proof ,and a cost that it would be worth doing as a precaution
thanks mark
