Aluminum Main Bearing Caps?

By John - 12/07/2004 4:21:45 PM; IP 142.177.114.130

Although I have built up many engines of a wide variety of types over the years, I have never built up one with an aluminum block. Cylinders would be sleeved of course, but what about the main bearing caps? There are aluminum FE blocks out there.....how do they do it? Are there dissimilar metal problems if they use iron or steel caps? The block holes must be heli-coiled at the least I would suspect? I'm just interested.....anyone know the answers?

This thread, so far...
