Joe,
This is beautiful and am impressed with your use of Alodine. I tried once and gave up quickly!

Hi Dave,
The person that does the treatment on my magnesium blocks does not use Alodine.
Alodine is used primarily on aluminum.

That is excellent work indeed. Nice to see the attention to details. Just collecting the parts for one of those engines is an accomplishment.

It's a (3) part process once the block is prepared correctly. I'm not a chemist and I don't ask since he works for an aerospace company
that is contracted by the U.S. Government. Besides, chemicals are dangerous and wouldn't even think of doing this myself.....
