"New Feltham Aston Martin cylinder blocks have not been available for over 50 years and the vast majority of these complex components have reached, or are reaching, the end of their service life. The original thin wall cast iron crank cases were fairly marginal in structural strength and although fine pieces of work for the period, the ravages of time, corrosion, inherent casting defects and the effect of unskilled rebuilding have taken their toll in causing numerous distortions, and, very often, irreparable cracking."
