Yeah I’m mostly just shitting on it for fun too. But the pistons don’t work very long without steel rings, wrist pins and big end bolts.
The problem is we have to bring copper, brass and other fancy metals in them though, because the all spin on oil cushion bearings. Unless we’re talking Babbitt bushings from the early 1900s.
I was referring to the engine block and pistons being aluminum. I assume chassis and many of the critical spinning bits are still steel or iron.
It’s also mostly a shit post. I’m a machinist and I am surrounded by aluminum in funny forms.
