[DeTomaso] 2 bolt vs 4 bolt Mains......care to offer anopinion??

[Edward Comber]

I have a 2 bolt main stroked and in the 500 HP at the fly wheel range. Everything I have read says the 2 bolts are as good as the 4 except for the cap being able toshift sideways. I don't abuse it very much :>0 only now and then and have a 6000 rev limiter on it. About 4-5K on it so far and runs great.
Good Luck
