Stud Girdle??? What is it for???

[AnthonyR23]

Hi, what is a stud girdle for, do I need one for my tfs twisted wedge cylinder heads on my 347, just not sure if it is necessary?? I got a main stud girdle, but not sure if I will need the rocker stud girdle or not... ???

If you don't have shaft rockers, then I suggest you use a stud girdle.
They minimize stud deflection.
Accurate valve events are a good thing.

It assist in valvetrain stability.

It is nice, but thousands of rides run without them. I recall you being somewhat on a budget.

I wouldn't use a rocker girdle unless you planned on a lot of 7000+ rpm.
