I believe it is not possible to design an engine, gas or diesel without Iron sleeves at least. also, any motor not designed for very limited use (like a drag motor) must have iron in the rods and the crank. as well as the valves and the connecting pin. possibly titanium would work, but not aluminum. just the main castings could be aluminum. the block and the heads and intake manifold. high strain items need more durability than aluminum can provide.
JMHO.
