Description
The Beans Diesel 210300 Aluminum Gridlock Girdle Kit with ARP Studs reinforces the bottom end of 1998–2018 Cummins diesel engines by securing the main caps and block together with a precision‑machined aluminum girdle. Designed to reduce main cap walk, bending, and flex under high loads, this kit supplies high‑strength ARP studs and a robust gridlock piece that enhances engine durability for high‑performance and heavy‑duty applications. The design ties every available bolt location to improve block rigidity, while the billet construction keeps weight down and eliminates interference with the oil pan.
