When you compare our blocks to many other manufacturers out there, they are in fact very stout blocks. Our rods and pistons really could have been designed a little better but hey, thats what aftermarket forged is for. Our blocks have a closed deck design meaning we have no need for things like block guards like the honda guys do. Our cylinders dont just "float" in coolant. Not to mention that it helps alot that our blocks are cast iron as well compared to others making theirs out of aluminum. Im sure you know all this but for those like justine that dont, its good info.
