looks good to me, ride the ---- out

 

you went way too far, but i bet it will be just fine. i wouldnt be scared

 

Exactly. When the mains are torqued down there should be no load on the metal between the main bearings with the girdle, it just provides extra stability for the bottom end

 

Dude you'll be fine... it's not like the girdle is going to explode or break as you drive... So just torque that ---- down and start driving

 

I had to notch way more than I read on ENDYN's site. Ill post up once its fin.

 

well here is my problem now.. I put the whole thing together... y8 block, z6 crank, y8 girdle and it looks like i barley notched enough as it is! Everyone said i went to much but ----.. It barley even clears it! But i did realize that my pistons dont seem to be going to tdc all the way. So im guessing maybe i shouldnt be using a z6 crank in a y8... Thats the only thing i can think of would make this happen.. HEre are some pics!

still barley clears with all that metal cut out!




Pistons still doesnt seem to come all the way to tdc... Im guessing this is because of the crank??

 

your avitar made me laugh

 

i dont think you can swap cranks. as far as i know i think the crank has to stay with the block. what did you expect to gain by using a z6 crank in a y8?

 

nothing... the y8 crank i had was fucked.. but i has this perfect z6 one.. So i used that instead.

 

i have a z6 crank that just needs a polish if you want it. $20 plus shipping?
