Hey Chris, remind me to never post pictures of the inside of my engines if=
the main cap strap bothers you, haha.
As an FYI, from my experience the center main cap is not the problem its th=
e 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 pro=
bably what started the whole strap thing, don't get me wrong I am not poo p=
ooing the idea just trying to shed a little light into the darkness of the =
dreaded tractor motors.
