TC's Performance. Tobi is one of the sponsors here. I've met him and seen his shop. Good prices on labor and he can get the job done right. I've asked him about rebuilds and machine work so I'm sure a block guard would not be a problem.

Don't you have to get it bored after you put in a block guard? I read that somewhere.

The gaurds are about $95 install (assuming the head is off the block) is $45. Depending on fitment it may need to be bored after the install.

Putting the block guard in can cause distortions of the cylinder. Boring is very cheap if you have a bare block.

If the block is bare and needs to be bored and honed its about $30 per hole. But you will need oversized pistons usually.

I suggest grinding the block gaurd so it doesnt have to be pressed in, just dropped in. It will be less effective though. Or not using one at all.

Stock B16 can take more than the stock map sensor can. So about 11psi and then you need to start looking for a hondata or something that can control a 2 o3 BAR map sensor.

I sell Tial products, their cheapest BOV is about $280 I think.
