The one thing about aluminum is that the expansion rate has to be considered when setting up clearances.As long as the builder is vigilant and knows the ins and outs of building a motor like this longevity should not be an issue.Not knowing Pond products but certain the blocks are far superior to early aluminum offerings in alloy, density,even sleeve material,not to mention weight savings over iron.
