Some modern consumer-grade [[small engine]]s use a monobloc design where the cylinder head, block, and half of the crankcase share the same casting. Apart from cost, one reason for this is to produce an overall lower engine height.{{Citation needed|date=November 2022}} The primary disadvantage can be that repairs become more time-consuming and impractical.
