RJC Engine Girdle

This block girdle was designed with one thing in mind, strength. Made from 3/4″ thick 1018 billet steel plate, flame cut out for rigidity, blanchard ground to ensure flatness then CNC machined to exact tolerance. This girdle is 100% made in USA. It is designed, manufactured, sold and tested in house, by true Turbo Buick enthusiasts. The girdle was specifically designed to allow the back yard mechanic to be able to install it, not just the professional engine builder.

RJC Girdle Crank ScraperRJC Crank Scraper Option. The New RJC Racing Crank Scraper/Oil Shield. Designed with two purposes in mind.

1. If these girdles leak oil they leak at the seam between the girdle and the pan on the passenger side of the engine. This Billet aluminum Piece shields this seam from any oil spray that is coming off of the crank. This virtually eliminates oil leaks in this area.

2. We extended the horizontal plane of the shield out to the point where it actually acts as a oil scraper. Scraping any reciprocating oil from the crank which in turn reduces drag on the rotating parts therefore increasing HP.
