Default block guard

I am building a D16Y8 motor. I want to put in a block guard, but I have things about them, like not cooling the top of the cylinder. Anyone have Ideals?

Dear god, please don't use a blockguard!!!!!!!!

They are ------- worthless pieces of ----. They are just as worthless as neon lights and windsahield washer squirter lights. The only difference is the blockguard will ---- your motor up while the queer lights will ---- your cool factor up.

I posted a while back my experiences with a blockguard. If you like working on your motor and don't mind overheating problems and have a huge pile of caSh that is getting too big to fit in your house, than go ahead and get a blockguard, but don't say I didn't warn you.


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

DONT GET A BLOCKGUARD! I'm using one right now and I cant idle for one minute before my car overheats, and everything is working fine, it sucks *** especially if you have a timer its even worst to have a blockuard.

I think the companies who advertises them to alow maximum cooling should refund our money, for the blockguard, complete head gasket set, and labour, PIECE OF ----!

Sounds like you have the same problems as me. We should sue the hell out of them. I have tore my head of three times now and right this moment my head is off awaiting a new gasket. I had to turn my timer off because if it sat there too long it would overheat like a mo fo. I even drilled the blockguard as far as I could to allow more coolant. Those holes are as big as they can be and it still overheats.

would you blockgaurd-haters mind stating what brand blockgaurd you're using/have used and what motor it was on?

I would hate to aid you in the purchase of a blockguard, but here you go http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2418424885 this is the one I used. I guess you aren't going to listen to us and you are going to go ahead and ---- your motor up? Good luck and have fun changing head haskets. You will learn to do it in less than an hour after a while.
