So I picked up my engine from Hensley Performance last September. Winter was busy and I didn't get to the garage much, and now I see this?!!!
1. Bolt rust. Understandable, they're iron. What can I use that won't rust - or should I clean these and protect them, with clear?
2. Intake manifold - rust / discoloration. I thought these things were aluminum and would oxidize - but not discolor like this? What is going on?

Temporary fix, coat with WD 40. Rub a bit of oil on them. Permanent, replace with stainless.

It's called rust, caused by humidity [ moisture ] in your garage. If you had a climate control system in your garage you wouldn't have that problem.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Condensation on your engine caused by a sudden rise in temperature.
This usually happens in early spring when warm moist air meets with your still cold car.
That's my guess anyway.
I have my car in an unheated garage and when temperatures start to rise after winter I regularly check if everything is still dry, engine is the first place to check. My garage never exceeds 55% RH.
