So is there anything I can use on aluminum that won't harm it ever?

If there are any aluminum parts in the block, they WILL be adversely <br>affected by the strong alkaline solution. This includes, obviously, aluminum <br>heads.<br>Purple Power, Formula 406, etc. (in fact ALL soaps) are alkaline, but not <br>strong enough to hurt aluminum (unless the Al is kept in the solution for <br>days).<br>In that respect you are quite right.<br>Larry<br><br><br><br><br>> Larry, two questions, first does the alkaline solution affect the<br>> intermediate shaft bearing or will it still have to be replaced when you<br>> 'tank' the block?  Second, is the alkaline tank also used on the<br>> aluminum heads too?  I have had success cleaning heads with Purple<br>> Power, which is probably a weak alkaline.<br>> Thanks, Rick.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Scirocco-l mailing list<br>Scirocco-l@scirocco.org<br>http://neubayern.net/mailman/listinfo/scirocco-l<br>
