I don't know about alloys, but I think the melting point will be much
higher i.e. Al pistons. Al is good transfer of heat/cold
Land Rover have Al body but the engine firewall is made out of steel
to protect from fire ...
Next time in a junk yard, look at the melted/deformed Al parts of a
car in a fire......of course, water cools the heads and others, but a
car fire, nothing to cool the part, will melt/deform under the high heat
....

Isn't the melting point of some alloys higher?
There are certainly a lot of engines, both diesel and gasoline, running
around with aluminum heads that haven't melted down.
