I want to know the percentage of aluminum in a car engine (weightwise)which has aluminium head and block. Example if an engine weighs 100kg how many kgs of aluminum ( approx)will come out if it is completely dismantled ?

i would say 60-70%, this would be because steel weighs more than aluminium. Your steel parts would include, crank, rods, valves, bearings, bolts, water pump impeller, springs, retainers, oil pump and various odds and ends. It could have steel sleeves and valve guides too.
Other than scrapping aluminium, why do you need to know? It would be different for any engine.

not all automobiles have aluminium,block and head. i know interior the maximum recent BMW engine they use magnesium alloy, which has decreased the burden drastically whilst in comparison with an aluminium engine

Its easier to steal aluminium from a scrap dealers than work percentages. Its also more productive and remunerative.
Next you'll be asking us for the melting points of steel and aluminium
Or how to make sheets using flotation on molten steel.
