just a question about block guards, do they have to be installed by a machine shop or can i put it in myself while i am building my block together? also is it ok to use a block gaurd in a N/A motor? will it harm anything since im not going turbo at the moment? i just want to be safe than sorry and since i have the block apart i figured what the hell. what is a good company to get one from or does it matter?

thanx for the help

 

I would only recommend a block guard if your going stock block and turbo with high PSI. I believe Eagle makes some high quailty guards.

do they make good sleeves and guards?

 

well i would liek to go ahead and get one anyways to be safe than sorry. i have already cracked the sleeves before in my type r motor i would like to lessen the chance with my gsr block im building. so basically im asking i will have any kind of cooling problems with a block guard if i dont go turbo and stay N/A? or will my motor be just fine with a block guard in it and all motor?

 

when u tap the block guard in the block, do u have to weld it in? or can u just tap it in? if tapping it in without welding, will the vibration from the motor make it pop out or move out of place?
