@aks.builds: wagler is the easiest/cheapest 12mm girdle. Beans is the best/most expensive with machine work 12mm girdle in my opinion. I do not have enough experience with 14mm girdles to give my opinion. I believe the 14mm girdle I had beans build for me is the strongest on the plannet. Its 2.5 inches thick in the center, and is doweled/locked to the main caps. @Bean’s Diesel Performance @carter5.9

We have discontinued the dowels that extend into the main cap. It should not change how well the girdle “grips” the cap to keep it from moving. And will prevent any line boring or side loading issues from differences from block to block and cap to cap.

I’m shotting for 550-600 wheel with my vp truck. Would I benefit from one of these? Still trying to understand a lot of this more in depth stuff

so it's being preached that running 12mm is a waste of time and money because the crank still walks. what's your take on that?

Realistically, what could the bottom end of a d&j street performance 6.7 hold with just the factory girdle and 12mill studs? Lowkey shooting for 1400fuel

so there's a gentleman i know that's the big cam magician for lack of better term. I mean his cb handle is "the magician" anyway. for what it's worth. back in the day he was horsepower hungry and short story long he broke a crank. changed it. broke it again. changed it again only to realize he made so much power/heat. the block warped just enough that had he not actually measured, he wouldn't have known that he was dealing with a paper weight on that 3rd rebuild.

14mm beans girdle and new performance dowels should be good way way past what any block will take even sleeved. Deckplate motor yeah just go wagler but ANYTHING but a sleeved deckplate motor will be super healthy with a beans 14mm and nice dowels.
