Default stud girdle

What exactly does this do for me and my roller rockers? Does this just support a little bit of stability? is it worth it? Thanks alot

Pretty sure it minimizes the play in the studs, since they rest (without fastening) between the lifters and rocker arms, this keeps them from moving around too much, i would think they'd be worth getting, i assume they reduce wear and improve consitency in the stroke. Please correct me if i'm wrong...

unless your putting out o ton of power, it will help them last longer but probably not needed
