ummm.. arceeguy... I hate to sound ignorant again but yes the engine is pot metal. Pot metal is a slang word that reefers to alloys that consist of inexpensive, low-melting point metals used to make fast, inexpensive castings. Think of a big pot full of melted metal. Now if you read my 1st post, I did say your cylinder and other internals are forged or cnc. mystery metals is a term we use in my business, reefers to, multiple metals used in the casting agent. Cheap alloys we cant identify.
If you look at your engine you will see what is called 'casting flash' on the intake and other areas, a tell tell of cheap casting. Now we all know this right.. most of us do anyway, but we still enjoy and buy these engines.
no need to defend China, there reputation of cheap goods and tainted consumables is fact, but thats not the issue.
I do make a living as an industrial eng. that has to mean I sometimes know what I'm talking about right?
