Nobody else has jumped in, so I'll answer even though the Vega is a bit
before my time:  The Vega engine was a SOHC 4 cylinder with an aluminum
block with no cylinder liners.  The aluminum had a high silicon content
to minimize cylinder wear.  I looked at one briefly in the wrecking yard
- the head seemed to be iron!
