I have this very same girdle on my race motor, but do not use it on my street motor.......when talking to several well know engine builders about this, they all said pretty much the same thing.......

unless you are turning your motor more than 7,000 rpms, the girdle is not really needed.......one told me, "all it does is hold all the pieces together when the motor lets go".
