I am currently in the state of an engine rebuilt. I am going with the type s piston, I am gonna have to have my block bored and honed. The question is should I get a block guard or not? There is a lot of information on block guards going in a turbo car but not a NA car. Heard different storys on how it can warp and heat up in certain spots. Also heard there is no need to go with block guard with all motor setup. Looked up imformation on the block guard on different company they said they are suppose to be good for turbo and all motor setup, how it's suppose to provent catastrophic engine failure, prevent cylinder walk, and blah blah blah. I am going have the whole motor torn apart so right now would be a good time to for me to plan going with or without the block guard. Is it even worth it? Just wanted more information. or

 

Depends how how much power your gonna make.. I am currently going to get my car re worked.. My local shop wants me to use the block guard.. I dont think it is really needed.. I am only gonna boost 6lbs.

 

Some people tell me to use it, some tell me not to. I am going with an all motor setup only looking for about 200 hp to the wheel. If I was going turbo I think I would have a better idea wheather to get that or not. But since I'm going all motoa i really don't know.

 

if ur only looking to make 200whp, thats nothing, i would go without it.
