Don't forget a cometic head gasket and arp head studs. When you tighten the head gasket, go over it a few times. It takes a bit to seat them. The head studs will help with lift.
I have a block gaurd and have no complaints. Alot of the honda tech guys complain of over heating, but I think its other issues. They also bitch about cometic gaskets, but its because they torgue them to honda specs which only call for 2 times around, thats not enough with them gaskets. You have to go over it a few times for it to completely compress it.
Congtats on the kid, See ya around
