i recently purchased a rebuilt b18c motor
it has a nuformz block gaurd in it......
would i be able to take the head off and just remove the block guard and reinstall the head..

 

ttt

 

if it was welded in then it's there to stay and even if it isn't i wouldn't want to yank it out if i was you. just my $0.02
why do you want it gone so bad?

 

ive heard bad things about block guards
id rather be safe with out it....
im only planning on low boost anyways
so no need for it

 

i have a few questions about block gaurd.
When you have a closed deck, does that just mean you have a block gaurd?
also wouldnt bg just create more heat?
Are block gaurds pointless if the block has been sleeved?
and what does honing a block mean?
What does having a block decked mean?

sorry to ask on this thread, but it looked like its over with anyway, and i didnt want to start my own over a couple questions.

 

bump

1..closed deck can mean you have a blockguard although some motors came stock with a cast closed deck.

2. A blockguard if installed peoperly will be fine and not create any problems

3. IMO a blockguard is not necessary if the block has been sleeved

4. Honing the block is the process of applying a crooshatch pattern to the cylinder walls. This helps the rings form a good seal when they seat against the cylinder walls.

5. Decking a block is the process by which the block surface that mates with the head is machined level.

Hope this helps.

 

thanks alot man

 

A correctly installed blockguard is good insurance for a motor. The problem is some people just hammer the guard in,and when they do that it moves the cylinder walls. The proper install is to sand it a little so it slides on.
