    The shafts are usually aluminum on the weed eaters and the block, head, piston and pushrod are usually aluminum.

    The easiest way to check if something is aluminum or stainless is to hit it with an angel grinder and see if it throws sparks! If it doesn't throw sparks then it is aluminum. The engine blocks are usually aluminum, yeah.
