Then driven/loaded onto a carrier to transport it to a dock. From there, driven/loaded onto a ship bound for America, etc. Then driven off the ship to another storage lot, then driven onto a car carrier/train car and transported again. Then, perhaps another car carrier before it reaches your dealer. As someone who worked at an auto assembly plant in the past, I can tell you the cars are jockied quickly so...... However, these are only brief perieds and there is no reason to add insult to injury and continue the abuse when you get it as parts are still not broken in and damage can still be done. Also all this loading/ unloading and test drives are not nearly as bad as someone getting a new car and imeadiately driving it from NY to Flordia (for example) and running it at a constant 3k RPM (for example) before any real break in has occured.

Even if the block is aluminum, it still has a cast iron/plated cylinder sleeve. Bearing and crankshafts for example are still made basically the same Basically, the only thing made of aluminum are non wear items and critical bearings/mating surfaces are stiil cast iron or steel. Aluminum an other alloys are used prmarily just to save weight, not for better wear properties. Granted, oil is much better but, parts still have to wear in to one extent or another. Capice?
