I recall the almuminum cylnder bored early designs - what were they thinking?
Has there ever been a successful engine that ran on aluminum cylnder bores -
historically? Did they have something that they could look at that set some
kind of precident for doing such an unconventional thing?
Reminds me of the era where they were skipping a primer coat to save money on
paint only too see the paint peel off soon after the car was sold.
I confess, due to my desire to buy American I bought a new Chevy truck in
2001. It now has 70k miles. It still runs tight and strong and has caused me
little to no trouble. Something improved somewhere - I think!
