A girdle is suppose to "hold" the motor's lower end together at higher RPM's,,so they say,,
In my opinion if the motor is built RIGHT you won't need a girdle.
A girdle is a bandage for so-so engine work it ties the block and mains together,it goes between your block and oil pan, it makes me think of shabby work when I see one on an antique tractor,,,,so I say,,,.
If you are turnning 6000rpm on an antique,,you might need a girdle.
If your building a motor and useing so-so parts,,you mite need a girdle.
If your motors crank and rods were not ballanced,,you mite need a girdle.
If your turbocharged and running high RPM's,,,you mite need a girdle.
If you don't like the way your tractor looks after it's painted,,,you might need a girdle,,,(hahaha)
All fun aside get your engine built right the first time and use good parts and have someone that KNOWS what there doing and will build to your pulling needs,If you want the right answers to engine building ask FARMALL on this site,he KNOWS his stuff on engine build up's.
