The connecting rods and intake valves are titanium. The exhaust valve is sodium filled stainless steel. I think the rest of it is pretty basic.

Its made up of the same stuff god is made of. People first thought that he ls1 was made by the hand of god, but the ls1 realy was made by Jesus, afterwards god said to jesus, "thats nice son but this is how you do it" and the ls7 was created.
