An all-aluminum motor is certainly better with respect to handling characteristics (better weight distribution). However, in my experience, cylinder wall distortion and overall strength are the most common downfalls with high hp aluminum blocks. I used block filler to help my application years ago.

they replaced something that wasn't broken.
The first few years of new Evo X owners are going to be the guinea pigs to test and tune and see what goes wrong with it, imo.
it's not yet proven and it maybe too early to say anything about the engine itself without talking about the supporting modification that the engine may have, because Engine is only good as it's supporting elements.

It's little quips like the ones you've fired off, that cause threads to go off track when they are acctually meant to spark conversation, so that the thought process can beging about moding these new engines that nobody has a clue about yet, but you insist on finding some inforamtion negative of otherwise, to make you look as though your something special. When, in all actuality you idiots. That fact of the matter is, yes I do own a Honda. It happens to be supercharged Prelude and does well for a FWD car. I have many cars under my belt. Not to mention a Turbo NSX. Have you ever stoped to think for a moment that I have already built an Evo VIII. Grow the Eff up, and let progress continue, if you want to be here during the process cool, if not **** off. I'm out.

Don't mind those noobs. 90% of the people on this site are cool, and have something intelligent to contribute. As for the engine I have no doubt it will be better..hence evolution..hehe. Most people don't like the new engine because: 1- the 4G63 is tried and true, 2- having to wait for developement of new parts...and all new testing of those parts. Product developement should go really quick though for such a popular car.

bet you wouldnt be saying that if you were driving an S2000 or an NSX huh?
But to answer the question, I think the people who are negative towards the next evo motor either really know what they're talking about (which are few) or are people who just bash on it because its the 'in' thing nowadays
Personnaly, I'd love to see a new motor in the next evo. Imagine, 2.0L turbo with an IRTB setup ala RB26DETT.
