Yes that is an RPW girdle,,, In fact I had to take it off today. I was riding around with my new found power..It is hyd roller, very streetable too. I got on it hard, I have a 6al with a 6g chip. Never got on the limiter but a push rod got out from under an exaust rocker. I sputtereed home. Nothing bent. It had a little ticking before, but it seemed normal. WHAT happened? Not enough spring pressure? Needs breaking in ?, I only have 50 miles on it. Should the rockers be heard? I pulled the girdle and just set the rockers {minor adjustemt} execptfor the one that came off the lifter. It is backworking fine, but I have not took it back out 'cause I started drinking. Push rod perfect. valve springs level all the way across the head.. 7300$ motor should not.. IDEAS?
