Default What are our blocks made of?

Is the D-series made of aluminum? The block? The head?

What about B-series?

aluminum for all on B, D, H, and F. Probably most of the others too after the mid 80s.

PROTIP: Never throw away a junked honda block. Take it to a recycling center and make $$$ on the aluminum.

I don't think many cars after the 80's don't have aluminum blocks.
