A properly designed yes. There is no Main girdle available for retail sale that you can buy and install in your garage that is worth a ****. There are two places I know you can get a main girdle done and both need your motor.

You will see it on the block where the cap sits at and on the seating surface of the cap. The metal will not look cleanly machined on these surfaces, will look like there is some rubbing going on.

Is this AS big of a problem with an iron block?? I've been at 650rwhp for 3 years now and am upping the boost this year. I've been thinking about pulling the motor next year for a refresh, should I consider this?
