i.ve posted my block all nice
I took the instruction on HMT
Everything was done properly by engine builders
But after two blown headgasket and some measurement. it appeared that the sleeves were a tiny bit lower... maybe mainly because the block has 140K miles....
I have to find a way to make the top of the sleeves more stabile.
I tought of buying a block guard but iam running out of time and i don want now to orde stuff from US and wait for them 3 weeks.
Anyone has a ghetto blockguard solution?
Is it good to do a second posting? like 3-4 cm from the top?


thanks guys

posting the block helps with side to side movement, not up and down.

iam asking all those questions because i want to finish this engine once for good and not have to reopen it every 2 weeks.

Before i use to deck only the head. now i even decked the block to be like 100% sure it will fit all nice.

Now, i dont know if i should do something more to tie the sleeves more stabile.
Block guard give that stability at the top of the sleeve and will definitely save me from blown out head gaskets.


knowing that both the head and block were decked

Should i do a second posting just to be 100% sure everything will be fine>?

Should i try to get a block guard?

Should i leave it as it is?

Should i get undress, and go out in the street naked with a big writiing that say: HMT'me up

thx for the help

Just deck the block and get a thicker head gasket.

i would also suggest a thicker headgasket,or 2 oem headgaskets with a good amount of cooper spray on both.

I read in "Honda tuning" that somewhere around 2/3 Sohc honda blocks that have 100K+ miles on them need to have the blocks decked...

I wouldn't use a block guard.

Get a thicker cometic head gasket
get the block decked
And that should be about it...
