[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4070124, member: 15054"] So do these new engines have a cast iron block or cast sleeve or are they aluminum? Compare that to an older engine that may have a cast sleeve or cast iron block. I do not know but I do know new stuff has not treated me well or many of my friends or relatives well. Something to research before buying. 1-2 years with aluminum piston on aluminum cylinder walls with steel rings will lead to oil usage and blow by along with failed engines. I have seen enough of them. Think of Chevy Vega 4 cylinder. [/QUOTE]
