which has even less factual info, and is almost 2 years old.

Also keep in mind that Honda has been putting out an all allunium about
that size in Europe for the last several years.

I will also add that the 2.2 that is in the Civic is all aluminium as
well. I don't think Honda is putting in the 1.7 liter anymore.
The Isuzu engine was put into this airplane but it was the 1.5 liter
with a cast iron block. The power plant with PSRU, cooling and other
item brought it up to 300 lbs.
