    Open or Closed Block?

    I am just curious due to the CRAZY discussion about this on an M2 forum. BMW said the engine was Closed Block (Like I give a ()&(*)(&) and then later changed the press release. People are all up in arms.......thinking they were cheated somehow!

    So is the RS6 engine open block or closed block???

    The Rs6 block is a sand casting so it has a closed deck. You find open deck blocks are die cast.
