Topic: Stupid noob question.........

[mmtsquid]

I'll probably get yelled at for my ignorance, but here goes..........
I hear people talk about "sandcast" engines with a certain degree of reverence........What's the big deal?  Were they better, more rare, or just different?

Just wondered............

Rare would be the key word here. When the 750 (K0) first came out, the first 7,414 had what were referred to as "sandcast" engine cases. Thereafter, Honda went to traditional cast cases.
