Running925 feels differently and im sure will post up...however me and many others feel this way.
yes i do feel differently.. & when you show me that YOU have had a heat problem with it then you can state that you have a valid point.. but until then.. your definatly talkin out your ass .. i have run them my self & have had no problems.. when summer rolls around i'll push 20psi through my stock sleeved / block guarded block & show you that there are no heat problems.. there is a big difference in the water jackets in certain block guards.. some are small some are big but what u really should look at is the flip side.. look at the holes in the head & how big they are & compaire that to the size of the block guard.. when u do.. you will see that the passages in the block guard will out flow the head thus the reason that there is not a problem.. & they are also aluminum so they disipate heat the same as the block.
& NO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO A MAHCINE SHOP TO HAVE IT PUT IN
you use a rubber mallet!
