I believe these are cast iron, not aluminum, but they don't leak like chrome ones. Summit 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion

Not all used a steel one .

What double R said, drawfile both surfaces (put a rag in the intake/pump whichever eng you have to catch the shavings) back & forth with a wide/fine file till the chrome is removed & the high spots are leveled live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
