You are right. The machinist pointed out his 2 hot tanks, one for iron and
one for aluminum. He said the aluminum one is easier on the metal and
doesn't get as hot.

I hope it was a hot tank that can do aluminum!
I am pretty sure that the normal hot tank that engine blocks and such go
through will normal EAT the aluminum. i could be wrong though.
Also, does the manifold have corrosion ? If he does there is no way to stop
that. you can cover that but it will not stop it. It will continue to eat
away at the aluminum.
