The "white" blocks are all cast aluminum with hardened sleeves. The old Vega had an aluminum block and no sleeves, after 40K miles, the block was gone but the rings were still good :)

After hearing and seeing numerous blocks with heads removed, the aluminum blocks and rings still looked new after 200K miles. The valve seats are a different story.
