I really don't like the way those tighten to the polylocks, and I would think having a single plate would be better. They insist that the one piece girdles will not fit correct and pull or push on the studs and put undo stress on them.

The old Mec 1000SC had one piece girdles on them, and if memory serves me right, I think they used Crane?? I have never had a stud break since changing to the best ARP studs, but since I am going to add the oilers, I figured I would add girdles too. I know shaft rocker setups are better, but I am not wanting to pull all the motors to do that and the cost of the good ones times three does not appeal to me.

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.

this is one I have used twice, and as far as when needed, after talking to Bob M. at length I thinking starting at a 500hp would not be a bad idea..

I do not, but the fit perfect on std GM iron heads(running now) and used a set on std Darts a while back, both worked fine, now the adjuster nuts wont work on crane gold rockers without grinding, or getting thinner wall ones.
