Does this help cap walk on a lsx block? Have anyone tested the difference?

Regards,

I was thinking about making a custom one in 1/2" thickness.

Andreas,

EPS has used them on a couple of builds, but thats all I was able to find out on this girdle. It will help cap walk as well.

Hmm

Then it maybe make sense to machine one

Got two of them for sale if you want one. Don't know if it helps cap walk, but its supposed to stabilize the bottom end of big power builds. Used them and didn't really know if they helped or not, but not going to use them in my new build etc...

I have a block with billet caps and one of this girdles, I just have to find someone that wants to work on this half cement filled block to test them out.

Are they pinned to the caps (machine work required) or just bolt on?

just bolt on.

IMO, this is better than nothing but leaves some to be desired. We built ours to dowel pin to the caps and the pan rail.


of course the down side is that it requires alot of machine work to install and it's not cheap

i'd agree with shawn. IMO if you want the thing to do anything other than look cool it needs to be pinned.

andres are your main caps pinned? are you running aftermarket main caps? what caps walked?

This is exactly as i wanted to do! But it will be a lot of work.
Nice part!

Sorry this is a bit off topic but why cant you pin the girdle to the caps instead of all the setup time involved in drilling the caps and then drilling the block? Would pinning the caps to the girdle stop the cap walk as well?

I havent tested because thats not my thing, but I purchased because it cost less than my pistons or rods, It was like having extra insurance even at lower hp levels. I have dm girdle with arp bolts

what material, looks like it would do more then just help cap walk.

We have probly made more power than anyone in the world with an LSX block and we dont have any sort of girdle. We havent had any sort of problem with cap walk.

I had capwalk with 1948 hp and 1550 ft/lbs.

You guys definitely are making some serious HP, how many passes have you guys been 207mph+? I saw it went 210 or 209 or something insane.
