Carbon/graphite Block

[TEXAS-NITRO-MAN]

This may be a stupid question but is it possable to make a carbon/graphite engine block? I sawl on someones post that there is a graphite piston.

Well, its possible...but I think as soon as you started it the carbongraphite block would get a lot of cracks and eventually just shatter. It would be cool looking, it could be a "show" engine.

Ya it would be an awesome show engine accept i dont think you could make it woven graphite or carbon. I wounder if anyone tried it.

This company makes the composite piston/sleeve combo. It looks as though they have come out with a new copper based P/S as well now. I haven't looked at thier site in about 6 months...
