if you are talking about the cam girdles thenyour screwed. You can't buy new ones. You have to buy new heads. The girdles are matched to the heads.

Shit, I think its the girdles, its what bolts on top of the cams

MustangMatt96GT · April 28th, 2008, 10:43 PM

So did you loose them or wanted to know if you needed to replace them?

Whichever it is I hope you are good to go now...

The thing is that the machine shop that had my heads, put the cam backward. When I was going to put the head on the car I noticed this. So when we went to take the cam out, the girdle woulnt come off. Since its aluminum we thought it might have streched and the gap would cause a problem. But we checked clearance and everything and now its perfect. Thank for the help guys
