Ok so both the Hurricane I6 engines, (SO & HO), have an aluminum deep-skirt blocks with Plasma Transfer Wire Arc (PTWA)-coated 3.31-inch cylinder bores.
Don't Chevy, Ford and most other manufacturers use the ductile iron liners in their performance vehicles?
(I'm just playing the Devil's advocate here but hope this scenario doesn't go down like the Chevrolet Vega's ill fated aluminum block engine without iron liners.)

That said, I had entertained the thought of upgrading my low mile 2016 Longhorn but I think I'll sit this one out for a while.
Your thoughts?
