i got a blockgaurd (from kms) but they have been screwing up my orders lately, so i figured i should ask.....how much bigger should the block gaurd be then the outside area of the cylinder walls?? because when i went to line the gaurd up....it looks like theres no way it would fit. So im wondering if it should be that much bigger(so when installed it would keep everything in place) i thought i would ask 1st before i end up damaging my block. thanks for any help

 

anyone?? im tryin to find out before class(tomorrow) so i dont ruin a block

 

It shouldn't go in by hand, but instead with some gentle love from a rubber/rawhide mallet.

But not all-out brute force......

 

KMS is garbage. Do a search to find out how many people they have screwed over and how they build engines.

Find a different phone to call from. They may just be checking their caller ID and going "oh, don't pick up".

 

get a lawyer, and then call them

Good point, I think you can file a complaint with the better buisness bureau and see what they have to say. I think they have their own lawyers and might be able to help. Its worth a shot if you got nothing else.

just run it without the block guard....most people will tell you not to run one anyway........

 

a little off topic and I dont want to jack your thred, but has anyone had any experiance with JG engine dynamics block guard? could I trust just lock-tight-ing it in?

 

seeI dunno.....you shouldn't need to locktight em....I got a raceeng one....(99 bucks plus shippin from their websit) and it pressed in but you have to have it honed after it is installed ....it should press in nicely

Where in GA is this company. Im in Augusta Ga so maybe I can help? Im not a die hard Honda guy anymore but I don't like bad business ethics.

 

just shave it to fit well Its not good to just pop one in anyway you need to put in in before the slugs to test fit the cylinders you might need to hone it if you stuff it in the motor wont urn easily
