Does the engine use castings from China? I sure hope not. We have Cast Iron foundry's in this country that are experts and I know of at least one that focuses on engine blocks. The problem is they are more expensive over China but worth every penny. All you have to do is look at the chemistry and microstructure of China Iron and it's a no brainer.
