head ?
Ok I searched but couldn't find a good answer. I know sleeves are the best way to go but it cost a lot. I was thinking of getting a block guard for now just as a safety. Does anybody have and advise on this item. Good or bad would be great. I am boosted at 9psi now and I take it to 11 at the track. Runs great so far. running it like this for about 6 months now.

Rep Power: 607 save your money and do it right the first time. Many ppl have run over 20psi with just a block guard.........but i would never do it.

Rep Power: 302 Sleeving is the best way to go. If I'm not mistaken <b>Eagle</b> sleeves blocks. Blockguarding is okay, but long term there is no guarentee that it will hold up.
Pretty much a block guard is a 100 dollar sleeving job.. Save up the money and get your block sleeved, you can run a whole lot more boost than you can with the block gaurd.

Rep Power: 330 If you only want to run 11 PSI then a block guard should be fine. I bought the KMS one. I was actualy running 11-13 PSI for about 2 weeks w/ no internal mods but I blew my head gasket.

Rep Power: 584 hahah, i didnt mean to have to buy two kits, but the first influx of parts were junk, and the company that made them wouldnt take them back. u have to pay extra to fix the problem, and well thats what i had to do, i was quite lucky that the shop that did it did in fact do it, bc normally they dont install parts that werent bought there...liability
