No such thing as a spoon engine. They don't make one. They have components for engines, but so do others like Toda, Skunk, Rocket, etc... None of these companies would ever claim to have an engine, just parts for engines...

honda makes the block, so i guess its not 'made by spoon' but this is as close as you're gonna get to a 'spoon engine'

These long-blocks are blueprinted down to 0.1g. and include a Spoon 2ply. metal headgasket. This is usually a special order item, but due to the amount of requests, we stock the B18C longblock assembly. PLEASE CALL TO ORDER
starting at just $5,880.

anyway, yeah. spoon doesnt produce the engine block, but i'd call that a 'spoon engine'.

They build an all OEM part engine, more highly toleranced than from Honda, and with a completely balanced rotating assembly.
