I'm planning on making a girdle on the jig borer at work. Should be pretty easy.
Is there, available on the web a blue print for the 3.8l buick block?
that would make my life so easy.
If not I will use a gasket as a template and make a mock up out of 6065 aluminum.
I plan on using either 1018 steel or the nice 1119 steel we use for tool plates. Both are heat and sonic hardenable.
My questions to the girdle users here:
How much did you have you take off the main caps get the right fitment? Did you leave the caps a little proud to preload them?
Where did you get the studs? Is there a stud kit avail from the vendor who sold you the girdle? Who are some of the vendors making girdles for these motors?
Thanks
