Installation instruction

Make sure you lay the block guard loosely on the top of the deck to make sure you received the correct version for your application and that the cooling holes match the ones on the cylinder head gasket. Wipe the outside cylinder surface and opposing block surface with acetone. If you don’t intend to weld the guard in place, then apply a small amount of red Loc-tite to 6-8 points along the guard side. Next, position the block guard with the arrow facing up (where applicable) and toward the front (timing belt side) and tap into place with a rubber mallet. Fit the block guard 1.5mm below the deck surface.
