<p class="yiv0314499162ox-df7f7515fa-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:'Helvetica', sans-serif;">As an FYI, from my experience the center main cap is not the problem its the center main web that's sketchy so adding a strap may keep the center main cap from coming apart if it splits but it has no effect on stability. I am sure some one some where at sometime has spit a center main and that's probably what started the whole strap thing, don't get me wrong I am not poo pooing the idea just trying to shed a little light into the darkness of the dreaded tractor motors. </span></p>

If you are talking about the threads that hold in the head stud I once had a block that was good other than one corner stud hole having a crack that radiated into the liner opening. Cause the head to move around at that corner and resulted in head gasket problems. It was corrected with the Timesert, basically a threaded insert style of thread replacement. The machine shop that did it pinned in place with wedges and that required a little JB Weld to keep the water in check. </span></p>
