Is my engine block aluminum?
I have a 98 Honda civic ex coupe and was wondering what type of metal the engine block is made of. I think it's aluminum because it has bad oxidation and I want to know if I can use an aluminum polish on it.

My 94 Civic has aluminum block. So I suspect you also have aluminum block.

that assumes you first need to grind away the pitting (oxidation).
Good luck.......
P.S. My block has the same "problem".

since I cannot see your engine in person, a very simple test is to use a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the engine, you have an iron block. If you have an aluminun block the magnet will not stick. Enjoy
