Also, I was looking for more info on the supertech block guards, I wasn't sure if I should get them or not. I tried looking for threads on it but I couldn't find very much info on them on here, but I may also not have looked hard enough. I watched a video of someone explaining them while building their vq motor but they spent about 3 seconds talking about it and said some people said they were good and some people said they were not.

0Taku - I think you'd be foolish to disregard a block guard and the dynosty girdle - you're asking for problems … the OEM girdle structure is lacking and when you factor in that the HR and VHR have significantly bolstered theirs up you're asking for low-end structural problems.
Sleeves are a good thing but they fail more often than not due to installation. I would never sleeve a block unless the shop that did the work stood behind the work 100%.

I like the concept of the block guard and if I was a little smarter I would have slipped one in when my block was disassembled. I think for how inexpensive and easy it is to install it provides benefit by stabilizing.

I 10000% agree with this, the guy who did my engine work is actually getting ready to sleeve a VQ, don't recall or if its a DE or HR, but the owner is shooting for 900+. I told the dude to be super careful, the VQ has a ton of problems dropping a aftermarket sleeve, he told me what ever the sleeve he is using is a four step unlike Darton's two step.
