6.7 Ford Power Stroke Wagler billet main caps

Transcript

00:00A stock cast iron main cap, a Wagler billet main cap.

00:07When you replace these, as we've shown you, you have to align board.

00:11Now we've got it over here, we're going to align, hone it to size.

00:15Before we align, hone it, we've got to install this girdle.

00:20This gives it even more rigidity and strength.

00:23That's a problem on a diesel block.

00:25You want this bottom end as tough as you can get it,

00:27especially when you're building more horsepower.

00:29The only complaint I have about this job, Jeremy Wagler, you know I love you.

00:34I think you're the greatest.

00:36But when we're doing these, if you could offer the caps two different ways

00:39since you're machining these anyway.

00:41Because we've got ARP studs here on the cap, I've got to put this girdle on here.

00:45I've got to cut off the top of this cap here in order to do that.

00:49I can't lengthen the studs, I've got the pan in the way and all this.

00:53I wish he offered these caps with girdle and without,

00:57but I will machine these and I'll show you how we'll do that.
