what is the point? helps prevent the motor from twisting?
prevents oil pan gasket leaks seems to be the main selling point.

yes, motor twists creates cracks between the flimsy oil pan "flange" and the motor...this bad boy sandwiches, as you can see.

the engine does not twist! the bolts vibrate loose over time as well as the oil eats away the stock gasket. dude the engine has no way of twisting who the **** thought that masterpeace theater exuse is a morron.

Nice rant, now learn to spell correctly and use proper grammar and maybe someone will take your point as valid.
This is an effective piece to prevent oil leaks and does brace the pan better than stock. Garfinkle's Brace is also SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than others on the market and requires no fabrication to make work (like the others).
Learn the facts.

also to add to that, there are 2 differnt metals that make up a motor, aluminum and cast iron, both expand and contract at differnt rates when heat is involved, so there for you add something that is supost to make the pan rigid more problems will show there faces like the bolt streach
