but theoretically would the single horizontal post create a pressure point that might lead to 'ovaling' like acondong has suggested?

i think the horizontal dowels would offer better support for the floating cylinders...

but a blockguard would seem best?

well i have 36 dowels in my block, so i think that would be stronger than a few horizontal posts.

block guard would probably be the best as it is a perfect fit the whole way around the bores, but it would also be the most costly.

i have been meaning to ask you - how does the coolant flow around the dowels? do they go all the way to the bottom?

(i dont have the allmotoraustralia address saved on my home PC - so i cant check out the hard tuned thread to check?!?!)

nah, they are only about 2" long, so the coolant can still flow around the cylinder walls, i had the head off about 5000km after install and there were no signs on the cylinder walls of heat spots or anything like that at all.
