Aluminum Engine Block Guard for Honda Acura Civic D-Series D16 D15 D16Z6 D16Y

Description

• Precision Fitment: Specifically engineered for Honda and Acura D-Series engines, including D16, D15, D16Z6, and D16Y models. This block guard ensures a perfect match to reinforce cylinder walls and prevent stress-related failures in your Civic.
• Enhanced Durability: Constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy (AL6061 or AL7075-T6), this block guard offers superior strength comparable to steel at a fraction of the weight, providing robust support against high RPMs, forced induction, and nitrous applications. It is often anodized for increased corrosion resistance and a long-lasting finish.
• Optimized Engine Performance & Protection: Designed to convert open-deck engine blocks into semi-closed decks, this block guard reinforces cylinder sleeves, prevents cylinder “walk” and distortion, and reduces the risk of micro-cracks and head gasket failure, especially under high-performance conditions. It also features computer-designed water passages to maintain efficient coolant flow and prevent hot spots.
• Straightforward Installation: While some block guards may require professional machine shop installation, many are designed for a direct, press-fit installation, often requiring only a rubber mallet. The block guard is typically fitted just below the deck surface, without welding in non-welded designs.
• Complete Engine Reinforcement: Includes one aluminum engine block guard, a crucial upgrade to fortify your engine’s cylinders and prevent common D-series failures. This guard offers peace of mind and extends engine lifespan, particularly in performance or motorsport use.
