My Horrible Manifold & Stupid Husband
OK, Ive actually owned my SVX for about 3 days now, I have spent HOURS cleaning on "him" and my "wonderful" (gritting my teeth husband) came home and decided to suprise me and polish my "aluminum" intake (hes a truck driver and he puts acid on all the aluminum stuff on his truck and then we polish it out ... well now I guess we know that its actually cast iron, (I assume) because it turned BLACK!
He finally LEFT because I was SO MAD at him, he knows this is MY PROJECT, MY CAR, and I didnt want him touching it! Can anyone HELP ME!? Audrey

The entire engine is aluminum so most likely it can be "buffed" out. Best of luck

If you were to lift the manifold with your hands you would know right away it is aluminium.
If this is really important to you, and if you have the time and patience, try a high speed cotton buffer and some mag polish.

Did he take off the black center plastic cover?

Find out what kind of acid it is and make sure its completely removed.
