Newb question, i know...but my dad keeps telling me how his corvette has a "aluminium block" and says *sarcasticly* does your cobalt have that?

my question is..does the LE5/LSJ have a aluminium block? im leaning towards no but just wanted to clarify.

thanks

 

Yes it does.

All new engines do

 

yes most are these days

 

bah!!! really??? hahahahahahah cant wait till next time he says that

thanks for the answer hack!

anyone know where i can get a link that shows the LE5 is a aliuminum block?

 

I'm pretty sure the only GM engines that are still iron block is the truck line of V8's.

 

Yeah, Aluminum blocks aren't anythng new.

If you wanna prove it's an aluminum block, throw a magnet at it

 

yeah that would make sense, he has a silverado 05 and i guess moving to a aliumium block in a corvette was a big upgrade for him

 

Its common knowledge that all the Ecotecs are aluminum block and head.

However I remember one thread where a guy insisted that only the SC engine was aluminum... LOL

 

I doubt you will find anything that says it's aluminum because that really isn't news. You wanna really impress your dad? Tell him you have Variable Valve Timing, which his Corvette does not.

 

if you must prove that all Family II engines have aluminum blocks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Family_II_engine#Ecotec

 

i said that...and he said "well does your cobalt make girls wet? cuz my vette makes em wet"

******

 

Tell him he's old and that you make them wet. That might shut em up

 

Well. he def. has you on that one. hahaha


but i dont need a car to make them wet. just me, myself, and I.

 

tell ur dad my dads vette will kick his vettes ass!





thats my uncle BTW!

aftermarket hood and quarterpanels i believe... i'm not a fan of the hood tho...

whoops, sorry for the big pics.

 

He says his car makes girls wet......Tell him it's a sad thing that he needs help to make a girl wet

 

Wow, that seriously makes him sound old. Tell your mom that he said that.

 

he was just kidding boys, and i heard his friend say that qoute before, my dads acctualy a cool guy, he likes cars...and is not an old timer by no means

 

We have a reenforced aluminium block look it up. Still accellerates like a limp hand shake though.
