steel is an alloy, and that has iron in it... so it doesn't mean non-ferrous metals. All alloy means is a mixture of metals.
He should have said... 'isn't the block AU alloy'.... then there would have been no confusion..... hahaha.
Im just being a tit though don't mind me... just bored at work and wanted to have a laugh...

In my role as an inorganic chemist, I concur. Alloy is any mixture of metals that behave like one; steel is an alloy, but iron is a metal. So by definition; all steels are iron alloys.

Moreover, I'm pretty sure it's not an aluminium block; it feels more like cast iron to me... maybe an aluminium alloy head?

except when i steel yer car....then i'm a tw@t:lol:

If a magnet will not stick to a pulsar block then maybe its because there's no iron in it ? :lol:

There'd have been even more confusion. Who has a block made of gold alloy?:lol:

What about Platinum ? ;-)

If I had either it would be sold so I could have a car made out of carbon fibre.

you would still need to solve the issue of weight transfer. actually you will be making the car handle worse since you are further removing weight from the back, leaving the metal (or whatever material it is) heavy engine in front.

:lol: :lol: what i should have said its and aluminum block which does not attract the magnet i used. With steel liners :lol: im of before the hole gets any bigger :lol:
