So i'm starting to run low on cash, only 2600 left, and i still need to buy pistons, clutch, bearing, head gasket, fuel managment, wideband, ect ect. So i'm not going to have 1k for new sleeves. So i was thinking of just putting a block guard in for alittle more stibility. What brand should i look into?

I'm not to familiar with block guard brands but I haven't really heard a whole lot of positive feedback on them. You might want to look into block posting also.

Id go with golden eagle. You can run up to 18psi, some ppl even run more, on a motor w/block guard. I dont have money for new sleves either, and that is what i plan on doing.

I think i might just leave the sleeves stock for now, becaus eyou have to weld the guard in and i've heard they can shift witht he high vibration of honda motors. Anyway. Ordering parts like a banchee. Can't wait for them to start rolling in.

Well I look at golden eagle in a higher regard than the other companies..I look at the quality of all their other parts, as well as their sleeving.
