Yes also has a lot to do with crank steered vs piston steered rods. Again, just what I've read on here many many times.
Oh here's something else I read on here from Roy.
I am not a metallurgical engineer, I am just regurgitating what I've read on here.
Here's the link you asked for.

I didn't ask for you to regurgitate other guys chatting about what other guys chatted about what they read in a fan-zine......You said "they change the material" which is why we few adults here are so dismayed at the words coming out of your fingertips..
Nor did the poor newbie here ask for misinformation about theory of what you think you read.
If you had said
then that would have been a good comment.."I read once, somewhere some gossiping guys chattering about other guys chatting about what other guys chatted about what they read in a fan-zine once, they seem to remember...." that the block casting material may have changed---but nobody ever bothered to do an assay so its just garage-talk over beer"
You see, you do not have the experience or raw intelligence or the judgement to differentiate between amateurs kibitzing and just gossiping over memories, and hard facts,,and adults talking.
That is why virtually every adult here tells you to shut up, don't talk, and if you cannot do that to go away and hang with your peers where you can impress them and not always derail threads with mindless chatter.
My mid year "first generation B230 has only god knows what but 4 years ago it as well over 300,000 miles...EXTREMELY mild state of tune, decent service by in all likelihood nerdy type owners and extreme light use has a major part in that story..
And that is nothing exceptional in any fuel injected car with similar low output, service and use.
Hell carbuetted V4s routinely made 200,000 miles when only occasionally given a little oil 40 years ago.. Your frame of reference is too limited...
