    I've had 2 that rusted within a year. Do you live where there is low humidity?

    I always leave them alone... I like the contrast in colors.. But you could do anything really. I just find with all the fluids, and vapors, rusting out doesnt happen much.

    I've bought the Fel-pro valley pan, and it will be painted shortly.  :grinyes: Like I said, we have HIGH humidity around here in the summer.
