Now it's time to polish the tranny and engine block.

are you sure? I think mine is steel.

well, time to check it out
Yes, I am sure. I have polished a few of them.

If you think about it, our block, head, intake manifold, and oil pan are all Aluminum. Why would the spark plug cover be any differant? If it was steel, it would weight 2x what it does.
