thinking out load..112 manifold

[Zuffen]

I wouldn't plate it in chrome or similar as you can't get at the inside to enure the chrome will hang on.

Wouldn't be a good look for it to flake off and pass through the engine.

The more I think about the better galvanising looks. Zinc and alloy sounds better than steel and alloy from a corrossion stand point.

i really dont see reaction of ali to steel in the manifold being a problem, they will never touch anyway,(gaskets)..

rusting internally may be a problem. though it will always have a thin coat of oil drawn up though the engine breathers spread all over it..

teflon or galv then..though cold galv may even do..

after all, by next year i will no dought be after a better meaner setup
