Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Why don't the aluminum and steel on our engines react more?

Why isn't there more of a reaction between the aluminum and steel on our engines?

The body acts as a sacrificial anode?

That's better than good, that's just plain priceless... ... ... . :-laf:-laf

 

[BenjaminAbraham]

Lol... But anyone know

 

[ewcmr2]

Because the aluminum/steel contact points are not typically wet locations?

 

[mwilson]

And a lot of the contact points involve a gasket so they don't touch each other???



It is a reasonable question in spite of our cuteness above, BTW.....
