In Response To: Re: New B31struts for 1 1/2" bearings (Capt Patrick McCrary)

Thanks Cap, I spoke to H & H today on this. He suggested turning the OD of the cutlass bearings down to 1 7/8 as one course of action. He reminded me that I've got 385 HP not 330, and 450 lbs of torque now with the 8.1's and that having beefier struts couldn't hurt. I suppose that is worth consideration if I were to be overlay cautious. If I wind up selling her then I'd feel better with the new ones. Or am I just worrying about nothing?
