@snacks unironically this lol. like maybe a slightly cleaner-burning lubricant but not by much

really the issue is literally just the aluminum corrosion but like... we figured out how to water-cool steel blocks so needing to manage engine block corrosion is clearly not a dealbreaker?

@snacks like you can just nickel-plate the cylinders if you really want. that also reduces friction and wear
