I had a good look at a 6 cylinder Jabiru engine. The case was machined out of a solid billet of aluminum. I was not cast. The 2 halves fitted together with out gaskets or sealants.You could run a white cloth over any part of the engine and it would be perfectly clean. The fins on the cylinders were also machined out of a single billet of aluminum, beautiful. The weight was 81 kg (178 lbs). Cost about $23,000 Canadian. The 4 cylinder model was around $15,000 Canadian. It is worth investigating. Harold Woods,Orillia, ON. Canada. haroldwoods@rogers.com
