Re: d16 block guard (THC07)
to be honest with you, ive done several d series blocks with keeping the stock sleeves. but when it comes time for new sleeves or doing a block guard, i would personally take it to a builder.
check up with earl or golden eagle. if you do some research, you will see that they do damn great work.

so you think stock sleeve will do the job?at least 300whp.

all depends on the tune and condition of the stock sleeves. right now the motor im building is stock sleeves bored .020 and shooting for 300whp. no block guard.
ive seen d series handle 400whp on stock sleeves (pink car) but like i said, the tune has a big affect on it.

Honestly...if you're building for 300whp no need to sleeve the block.
A block guard is alright, however its not necessary. It only supports the top of the sleeve, and still can leave the bottom prone to cracking.
Like I said though, you should def be alright without it. Just have the block checked out at a machine shop, and find out if the cylinders are out of round. If they are, you will need to have it re-bored.
If you do go with a BG, get a Golden Eagle.

Golden Eagle. Their cooling is far superior.
Like I said though, Im not a big believer in BG's. I think the idea for them is right, however as i stated before, it doesnt do anything to provide protection for the bottom of the cylinders.

All those nice, high end, name brand parts, and you're gonna pair it with a POS ebay block guard?
Not what i would do, but it's your engine.
