It's a toss up...

The issue comes down to that the blockguard may distort the sleeve alignment once tapped in.

No, but GE sleeves would be a good idea...

Yes. They do work. Just make sure you put it in right. About 1/4 down. Make sure its not too much of a tight fit.

if you do put them in, hone cylinders after blockguard is installed.

Your block wont cool as efficiently with it. I think the general consensus is that they do more harm than good
