What problems do block guards usually cause? Overheating? We've been running one in our race car for a couple years with no probs. Maybe just certain ones huh?

Why would you bore the block after you put in the blockguard?

I have first hand experience with a ------- blockguard. I hate them with a passion. There might be certain ones that don't cause problems, but I will never waiste my money on such a rediculous idea ever again. If you feel that you need a blockguard because you are running high boost, you should just do it right and get the block sleeved. The only way I could see using a blockguard would be a good idea would be........ok nevermind, they just aren't a good idea. Maybe for a "racecar" that never sees stop and go traffic and may never see high temperatures from everyday driving. This is your fair warning, DO NOT BUY A BLOCKGUARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
