Aluminum Intake Problems
In process of turning 65 Styleside into a daily driver. Has 302 with Edlebrock aluminum intake. Was changing intake gaskets and decided to clean up intake. Car wash proved to be useless, so I tried spray on mag wheel cleaner. After several dousings and rinsing and a little scrubbing with toothbrush to get the black crap out of the really big pores, it looked really good. Went to bed with the cheapskate "ya I did that and it didn't cost me anything" thought in my head. Next night after work, went to install intake. It's covered with a white powdery film. It wipes of with a rag, but still looks like crap. I rinsed it really good, so I don't think that's the problem. Any suggestions other than bead blasting? Bill
