You are asking for product information and vendor information. UTH is not for this. Moving to S2000 Talk.

BTW, what's a block guard anyway?

A block guard fits between the cylinders and the walls of the block to turn an open deck block into a semi-closed one.



Ideal for an engine like the F20C when going for serious forced induction.

looks cool. What advantages would it have for a non FI engine?

It's advantageous to any engine that is working above it's recommended envelope. It's just that most high horsepower F20Cs are boosted.

BTW, I got a response from KMS. All they need is a block and four orders and they can make a guard for our engine. Anyone got a spare block lying around.
