[QUOTE="Redrock2000, post: 1511302, member: 10253"] I was wondering at what point of hp or rpm have y'all actually seen main cap walk? Having built a few Ford big block gas engines I've saw main cap walk more associated with higher rpm and using even main studs increases main walk let alone a girdle doing anything but holding the broken parts together or at best absorbing harmonics. I know the differences in diesel and gas but Ive saw high compression 460 based 2 bolt main engines revving passed 6500 rpm on a regular basis making 800 hp or more with stock main bolts and 0 cap walk. The mains of a 7.3 block are twice what a 4 bolt big block are. Why the concern with cap walk with a 7.3 and at what point ? Thanks [/QUOTE]
