why do you think that?

allhonda

well i think is restricting the coolant flow, plus it never did that until i put it on

Block guards do cause hotspots inside your motor whgich will cuse overheating. I have one and let me gess your car will run at normal temp and than rise supratically and than will drop back down ?

allhonda

yeah thats what it does, and it also runs hoter then what i usually seen all my hondas run

What brand block gaurd and how hot are you getting? With me golden eagle block gaurd i think the hottest I ever got today was 212 on a 91+ degree day.On Normal 80-85 degree days i stay around 196 degrees.

i dont have an aftermarket gauge jet but it gets almost to the red if i push it a little, i have a del sol dual core radiator but im looking into geting a aluminum one to see if that does it

why do you need a blockguard anyways? it doesnt do anything besides cause problems.

so am not guarded at all lol.....
i read all that info about blockguards but then i was like, i dont want to risk it and i put it on
so you guys say take it out??

Majority of cylinder-destroying force is exerted on the middle of the cylinders, not the top - so I vote them pointless as well! I'd take it out...

EDIT: What about block-posting...that may be a safer bet!

allhonda

yeah i know about posting but drilling through the block doesn't sound like fun, still is an option

mike93eh2

uhh you dont need either. if youre really worried then just get it sleeved.
