Ok... other than heating the garage (which I haven't ruled out yet), are there any methods to battle against the corrosion that forms during the winter on aluminium (like an intake and alternator), and chrome (valve covers)?
Last winter I installed the new motor between the frame rails... and the intake developed some "blemishes" which I attribute to a combination of moisture and cold. The car has been in the garage the entire time (not road worthy yet). Other vehicles I have or had would get this same type of corrosion on the alternator and other aluminum brackets and parts throughout the winter.
I had to return a brand new, unused chrome alternator this past Spring because the top surface of the alternator developed small "pimples" all over. The underneath side was undamaged.
I don't need this to happen again. Thoughts and recommendations?
