- Rust is the problem with this joint, not corrosion! Paint the mating surfaces well. I also ran caulk on the seam, feathered it out and finished it with paint. It's not perfectly finished and I doubt

- John, sorry, but I have to disagree. Aluminium (sorry - aluminum) is the weakest of the two mating materials and therefore the main problem with this joint will be the aluminum which will suffer from

- I was going to be pedantic (as usual) and point out that rust IS corrosion, but decided not to. I think John has a good point, at least in my case. When I separated the pan and the shroud there was a
