When my engine builder had the engine apart he showed me that the girdle was not even touching the center mains and was therefore not providing any additional support to them. It was only really providing some support at the ends. Not what I thought a girdle was supposed to do. Not nearly as strong as cross-bolt or splayed bolts.
