The type of metal is not as important as the heat loss characteristics of the head and block casting--airflow, etc. Aluminum or lighter alloys are chosen for the head, which has the most heat to lose; and each has their weaker and stronger points.
A head that is the most efficient at heat loss also expands and shrinks the most; so there are trade-offs. For this reason and others, the block is usually a denser material, but successful all-aluminum, and even a carbon fiber motors (both with steel or other inserts at necessary places) have been built.

What happens when air pressure is cooled?
When the air is cooled it mostly rains
What happen air as it is cooled?
It loses moisture if cooled below its dew point. It becomes more dense, and that causes it to move toward areas where the air is less dense.
Why are thunderstorm downdrafts cold?
Thunderstorm downdrafts are cold because the air has been cooled by rain. The cooled air then sinks as it has become denser than the surrounding air.
What do you find in a greenhouse?
A house made of metal and mostly glass where there are no pillars in or out.
Cooled air that is heavier than surrounding air will?
Sink towards the ground
Were the first aircraft engines liquid cooled or air cooled?
Almost all of the first aircraft engines were air cooled as this made for a lighter engine.
What year is air cooled vw engine number AS41?
AS41 is the metal the crankcase is made from. It was used in engines up to 1975--when they changed to fuel injection.
Were the first automobile engines liquid cooled or air cooled?
Air cooled, much like the old "hit and miss" farm engines.
Last air cooled yzf250?
The last YZ250 that was air cooled was 1981. 1982 is when they switched to water cooled engines.
What engines can go in the 1980 vanagon will modern v w engines work?
1.6 air cooled 1.9 air cooled 1.9 water cooled 1.6 diesel subaru engines loyal with less fitting 2.5 with more fitting there is good rebuilt engines on eBay air cooled but oversized like 2,1 L
Why is stabil added to gasoline for small air cooled engines?
Stabil is added to gasoline in small air cooled engines to reduce heat that builds up.
Do air cooled engines cool by conduction?
No, all engines cool by radiation.
What vehicles use air cooled engines?
Motorcycles and Aircrafts are two of the main vehicles that uses an air cooled engines. They use this feature since they normally have smaller engines then a normal moving vehicle.
What are the materials used to make an Air Conditioner today?
it is made up of iron, aluminum, metal coils on the inside, where air is cooled, and lastly it is made up of sheet metal.
Why not use radiator in bike?
Combustion Engines can be made either air-cooled or water-cooled. Radiators are only needed for water-cooled Engines. Small two stroke Engines are used in Bikes.On that external surface Fin type arrangement is made.This is enough to dissipate the heat from the engine as which is small
Do classic VW beetle's have water cooled engines and why not?
The classic beetles were air cooled primarily because of cost. Air cooled engines are a lot more simple - there's no water pump, water jackets, thermostat, etc which makes the engines cheaper to produce.
What is an air cooled engine?
an aircooled engine is an engine that is cooled by air. most cars now a days are cooled by water. aircooled engines include but are not limited to- old style vws and porches some airplane engine some motorcycle engines
