no, he doesn't, but that engine isn't under as much stress as a 2.6 litre to make the power it does. iron blocks for the most part will last longer than a aluminum block.

I find it hard to believe that the weight issue isn't a big deal. At he junkyard I tried lifting this engine block and moving it off of something and it was obviously cast iron, 4 cylinder, probably from a Volvo or something. I couldn't budge it. However I could lift the entire D15 engine I pulled out of my car, no prob.

ah yeah, there are serious weight differences between iron and aluminum, this is a silly, silly argument.

all i wanted to know is what the case was with honda. does the same hold true for its SOHC motors too?
