does a block guard even work? is it neccesary to have? and pros on cons?

 

with all the work and labor required to properly install one, you're better off resleeving and ending up with something way stronger.

 

how difficult is it to install one? i have my motor open up right now and am in the process of new pistons and rods, wat exactly is the process to install it?

 

basically from what i understand it keeps the stock sleeves from shifting but i wouldn't waste my money or time ..it has to be pressed in ..sleeve it

 

i guess some people have had problems with them

search a little you might find the ones im talking about

they have to be pressed in. then the sleeves bored/honed because they become distorted after pressing in the guard.

This is an average price...sounds right.

It also depends on the quality of the shop or if they have any warranties, as well as the location of your shop.

A shop out in bufu where there is no competition will have have higher prices than a shop that is surrounded by competition.
