thanks Abaz, ima keep stock piston size. what about INSTALLING A BLOCK GUARD, how do i go about honning the cylinders to correct anything the block guard would've stretched on the sleeves. i've read about how they need to be honned after installing the block guard.

if you want to hammer something into your block go ahead. Some people's stock b-series sleeves crack at like 13 psi, others hold 20 for decent periods of time. There are a bunch of factors including tuning that lead to it.
