I didnt have to take any out of my girdle. You need atleast .050 clearance between your rods and the block.

wait and check the block when you get your rods (put them on the crank and spin them and check your clearence). when i did my build (i had eagle rods, zc block) i called eagle to ask how much do i need to knotch, believe it or not they said no 2 blocks are the same.(and then they told me to do the test fit)

endyne says 1/4" up the sleeve, 1/4-1/2" side to side, and 1/4" deep

now when you guys say take ---- off the girdle..was that because the rods were hitting, or because there wasn't enough clearance, so you did it to be safe?
