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.
