anyone ever have over heating problems with a daily driven car with a block guard? if so what did you do to solve it, and what block guard were you running?

also would you recommend running one with a b16 at around 350whp? or would you not think it would be worth it? let me know

 

you should be ok, just make sure to sink the block guard a 1/4" or so below the deck and have the cylinder's checked for "out of round" as this may happen. Also...try to stay away from block guards that are restrictive ( coolant flow). I'm using G.E block guard..it looks like the STR's. I beat the living **** out of my engine and it has never over heated. This is on a D series by the way.

 

g.e. blockguard at 14psi/ 3 months-5-7,000 miles/ no problems

 

<--- Guarded.

Not boosted yet, but ran the car W/O a fan and it didnt over heat unless I ran the car really hard and then sat at a light or something for a while while the car was idle'ing

Guards are good if they are INSTALLED properly! (Ive said this 1,000,000,000,000 Times!

 

G.E block guard-20 psi for a week or so and around 12-15 daily. Had it for about 6 months now. *DAMNIT this is old sorry ****
