Meh, if you want to throw enough money at it, you can make it reliable. Lets see... for a daily driven 1kwhp...
Filled dry deck, head tapped for external lines, freeze plugs removed and tapped and water manifolding installed, blockoff installed @ stock water pump location and external electric pump installed, forged/billet crank, billet caps, forged/billet rods, clovered head with welded and shaped ports and custom pistons, custom sleeves with stock bore or smaller, and preferably a brazed deck plate with extended rods/sleeves to get your r/s up for extended high rpm use, stock bolts holes drilled and tapped for larger studs, last but not least, a dry sump system with a teflon tipped crank scraper.
That should survive a daily 1kwhp with the right manifolding and wastegating. Have at it
