I noticed on my most recent breakdown, that my caps were walking. This was with a new line bore and two 'billet' center caps, on 11.20 to 11.40 runs @120mph+/-. 109 stock cubes with a 63 wheel and old 42lbers @ 26lbs of boost
I did have a few runs with some detonation, which I am sure is part of the reason the caps walked.
So the girdle comes to mind. I certainly beleive a girdle helps with any crank flex, but does it also help prevent, or at least raise the threshold, for any caps from walking. BTW, I fixed my detonation issues as I now have proper fueling with 60s and can pull darn near 30 lbs w/o detonation.
Would a girdle help prevent the mains from walking?
Thanks for the comments.
