The following parts are aluminum. Direct clutch carrier, front drum, rear drum. The sun shell has been wacked (1 lb removed), the rear pump is gone, the governor is gone, The parking pawl gear is cut down to .250". And Lee just for you, the output shaft was turned down to remove about .125" along with the speedo gear drive. It had an aluminum rear annulus gear in it, but the teeth were taking a beating. We'll see how it works this weekend. Doug

Here are some other corner stone pieces in their bare suits before neutralizing and primer sealer. Wafer thin and flimsy till you mount them.

One thing unforgiving about the Chacuzzi is its ability to not yield to corners that either have some rust or are thin already from the edge stretching that parts go through during stamping at the factory. Oh well, at least there aren't any Swiss cheese weakness on these no stress cosmetic parts.

Yes, you've got it. For some time now, I've been using the steel thin jam nuts with aluminum split lock washers. The gaskets are the Moroso Perm-align blue types that do not leak, at least on my application. Now I have acquired aluminum thin jam nuts and will use them with the aluminum split lock washers for a complete valve cover mounting system. The aluminum studs get inserted into the heads using a good lock-tite adhesive since I remove the covers every now and then to adjust the valves. I'll weigh them later and post. Should be good for an ounce or two. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm counting 'em down one at a time here, there, everywhere. Of course, some fasteners either have to stay steel or at the very best Titanium because of their strain duty. All of this has to be calculated correctly to work and survive in such an evironment.
