Other than the obvious wheight difference are there other advantages using aluminum heads vs iron.

Some are saying aluminum heads will eventually pit and corrode, even in fresh water, due to the minerals. Others say no way. One suggestion if you want to play it safe is to flush a couple times a season with a solution.

Kind of funny, me talking like I know something, but I'm just passing along what I've been told lately. Keep in touch!

I just pulled the alum heads on my engine,and they looked clean with no pits,infact they are better than the steel fittings for the hoses.The engine was ran in fresh water.
