Message: [QUOTE="Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto, post: 1179764, member: 8143"] How would adding main studs make the block structurally stronger? Your not adding material to the block. In fact it puts more stress on the block, and distorts the main bores. The only reason for main studs is if you are having cap walk and/or lifting the main caps off the block. Which neither are happening.. The crank doesn't flex. But, then again that's my argument vs everyone's theory. If the crank actually flexed then main bearings would be going out. NOT rod bearings. Could the block be flexing? Sure. As cheap as ford made the 6.7 block it wouldn't surprise me. I guess dealing with block flex, split blocks, 2 bolt, 4 bolt, girdles etc in the gas world broke me from the thinking of the "it's just gotta be better" mentality. So until someone can show any proof of cap walk or main bolts stretching (which they can't), I think I'll just stick with what I've seen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
