Re: rocker stud girdle

"Need" is a tough one... you'll have to answer that one.
It will stiffen the valvetrain by tying all the rocker studs together. How much that helps is gonna depend on your setup... how many revs you turn, how much spring pressure you have, etc.

Moroso makes a girdle for the centerbolt heads. Check with our Suporting Advertiser Index to find a dealer.

Good luck.
