ive used lots of guards and never had heating issues cronic i think they are great for the money they target the part of the sleve that will recieve the most pressure. if your not shooting for 30+psi or some stupid numer you should be ok with a guard and PROPER TUNING the tuning is where you want to spend your money !
either way, it's a band-aid. I wouldn't use one.

The one rangcrx posted is very good, as is the Golden Eagle unit... Just make sure that is installed BEFORE the final bore and hone, and install of pistons, to preven cylinder shifting that causes clearances to become whacked....

the str's are good as long as they are properly pressed in, but you are correct, they do need to be shaved...
STR reccomends you resurface the block after install for a good flush install....
