I wouldn't even bother with a block guard.

Get Darton Modular Integrated Deck.

Boost up to 100+ PSI if your rods could handle it.

go the extra mile and get your block resleeved. Dont waste the time and money on block guards. For high horsepower, block guards can cause detonation. They create a hot spot right at the top of the cylinder, which is the worst place to build heat. Plus while your resleeving, you can increase your bore and be happier with torque that hondas dont make

Good luck

I like sleaves.
A good sleave will allow you to run high boost and still allow coolant to get to the head. Less heat=less dentonation. Higher octane= less dentonation, not more power.

I don't recommend block guards you want something with an open deck, that's how honda designed the block, get a sleeved block for sure if your boosting, I did'nt do it the first time, I paid for it, my #3 cylinder had a crack from top to bottom from high boost and detonation. Now I have an open deck sleeve from Benson's.
