#31062, "Valve cover...steel or aluminum?"


          

My local metal platter can't (or won't) crome my valve cover if it's aluminum.

Does anyone know if it steel or aluminum?

Yeah my guy will plate it but for like $150. If it were steel it would have been $60. I think I am just going to polish mine.

It is aluminum.
Tell them to Elecroless nickel plate it first, then chrome plate it
it will be okay.
