they make some for the brodix heads ^^
Joe I was looking at those, But wondering if anyone here has installed them on Bordix heads. My buddy at Merc Racing told me they used Crane back in the day. He also told me that whatever I do use has to fit perfect, or you can do more damage then good. He said he has seen guys hammer them on, or get them slightly on , then tighten them, moving the studs. He told me people then wonder why the studs fatigue and you end up worse off then not using them at all.

Im running Webster's but their on AFR's, they are suppose to be designed for the head their going on, not one size fits all.

the reason for useing a stud girdle is to support the studs in an attempt to stabilize the valve train.if you install a girdle that is designed for a different valve angle it will try to bend the rocker stud.we all know what happens when you attempt to bend a hardened stud,it is just a matter of time before it fails.

i have installed some of the webster girdles,they are a good product that fit correctly.i also like the fact that they are american made.it is very important to follow the torque spec they send with the girdle,s.

Yes, and when it comes to the AFR heads, you have to make sure you have either Version 1, or Version 2 heads, as they changed the intake studs location not long ago if I recall.

Willie, something to consider. When ordering a set of girdles, make sure to ask what size base the included polylocks have. Some are .550, some are .600. You want them to match the rockers you are running. If you order a set that comes with .550 locks, and need .600 locks, the locks themselves are kinda pricey.
joe,can you post the part number,i think a lot of guys[including me]will be trying the eq head.

LOL no I had to go on the internet to get a picture of the stud girdle. That is a L88 with the snow flake but the same rocker arms and girdle. I was waiting for someone to say something about that.
