And yes, I’ve done engines with stud girdles because the customer thinks he is smarter than everyone building engines.
Ive also installed them on some stuff that didn’t need anything but the girdle sounds cool when you are leaning on the fence at the drag strip telling your buddies all about your cool **** while your junk is at home because it’s so slow a Prius would give it a hard run for the money.
Or when you come to places like this.
