don't waste the time and money on that when you can block post yourself for cheap

the block guard keeps coolant from reaching the tops of the cylinders which can cause problems

Look at those iddy biddy coolant holes. I bet they allow massive coolant flow. They look as small as the one I used. That might even be the same one I used. ------- junk IMO.

If that thing is designed properly, it'll be tight fit, so technically you need to fully disassemble your engine to install it and then press it in, and then check every cylinder for allignment and re machine it all, not worth it, you'll blow rods sooner than that. Do the block posting.
