He has a few YouTube videos about these engines and probably the best how-to on timing these engines. I remembered that he did not have the same girdle setup on his engine. He said that he just cut the bracing off of them because custom cam lobes wont clear the stock girdle bracing. Which had me thinking that Crankshafts just have main caps without side bracing and they are under a lot more pressure than cam caps/girdles would be. I am either going to leave them be or cut them down.Does anyone think differently or have an opinion to sway this decision?</blockquote>
