Im pretty sure this is bullcrap but.......

I dont know this for sure but this guy told me that the C5 block has Titanium rods and misc. titanium parts on it. I dont think this is true. As far as I know all a C5 is, is a C1 w/ a B16 head. Am I right or is this other guys right, or are we both way off?

He's wrong. Your also wrong.

The C5 bottom end is DIFFERENT from the c1 bottom end.

The blocks are 100% the same, the internals are different.

Rods are constructed of special high-strength steel to withstand higher rpm's and are still lighter than GS-R connecting rods

High-pressure die cast piston crown has been reshaped to increase compression ratio from 10.0:1 up to 10.6:1

The changeover point between low lift and high lift in the Type R is 5700 rpm (compared to 4400 rpm on the GS-R)

Thanks got all the info I needed.
