Maybe just a reminder..
Some people follow a thread because they are interested in the topic.
...and they subscribe to it.
That means they get e-mails when new posts are added.
That means they come back to the thread when they get a notice of a new post.
In this case, today they came back five times to see that Statler and Waldorf are at it again.
Please limit the sidebars on tech topics.
Thanks
ron

Wasn't there someone here at Club Cobra, by the moniker of "Dynoroom" intimately involved with the development and testing of the CSX block? I've got to assume that they did some destructive testing for a while prior to it coming to market.

I assume that low production specialty block manufacturers do not have the resources/budget to construct a block with integrated sleeves, instead of a slide-in or bonded type.
Honda's example;
http://dwolsten.tripod.com/articles/jan96a.html
I seem to recall while watching a production video on the (al.) ford romeo block, that a hard alloy skin is formed on the piston cylinder walls, and forms some type of metallurgical bond between the dissimilar metals.
I stand to be corrected, because I cannot remember if it was this ford block or not.
2011 shelby engine;
"The new engine uses state-of-the-art Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) liner coating, a process that applies a 150-micron composite coating that contains nanoparticles on the internal surfaces of engine cylinder bores, replacing cast-iron liners typically used in aluminum engine blocks. The Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation honored the inventors of the Ford-patented PTWA technology with the 2009 National Inventor of the Year Award."
