Most types of aluminum are too soft to function as the cylinder wall in an engine. So the manufacturer will use a cast iron liner, which is much harder than aluminum and will have good wear properties. This way, you can get the lightweight benefits of an aluminum engine and have long-wearing cylinder walls.
