Sealing Aluminum Manifold

After sandblasting the aluminum manifold and the distributor housing, should they be sealed with something or not?

Alen?:confused: Who's intake, Henrys or someones aftermarket ?? You might want to try a good clear, powder coat to keep it looking good, even super chrome . Keep in mind the heat riser under the carb will burn off, unless you block it off ( not :rolleyes: GOOD IDEA TO ME ) ... OR...Try POR 15 hi temp paint, not much of a color choise??
On the underside "GE GLYPTAL" will make easry to clean next time, and the same for front cover, You set a example for the rest of us, Note this is a test,:eek:.. Please keep us informed .....OLD....BILL :cool:
 
There is a product called "rust Prevention Magic" that is supposed to seal any clean metal (not just steel). It is applied like wax and heated, supposedly becomes invisible. I saw this in the new issue of Street Rodder, and looked at the website (ECS Automotive Concepts) It looks like something I want to try, as it leaves parts looking original, not coated or painted.
 
It's a Ford manifold. When it was cast, it wasn't sealed ( or was it?) I'm wondering if I left it uncoated would it get dirty quicker BECAUSE I sandblasted it? I'll check out ECS. Thanks
 
I just built a 34 with the original aluminum intake. I glassbeaded the manifold and sprayed it Rustolem chrome paint in a rattle can. I never liked aluminum paint, it just looked foney. But I'm telling yea, this stuff looks just like chrome. Just bye a can of it at Wall Mart and spray something, you won't believe it. Walt
