Hi.. I'd spray anything on the intake runners that is ant-corrosion and won't eat at the rubber pieces at the plenum end. I have used a lot of 'Corrosion Block' a nice aluminum /boat/aircraft treatment juice in a spray can too. I have never had *anything* ignite from engine heat that was sprayed and left on the engine. 'possible' I suppose .. but highly unlikely. Use common sense of course ..like don't cover an engine in engine oil then go driving. but no ..never any issue at all in that regard. scott On 5/7/2012 5:13 PM, neil n wrote: > I've been spraying Rust Check ( a petroleum based rust inhibitor and > lube) Link: http://www.rustcheck.com/ all over the seams in engine > bay, rusty PS hard lines etc. On that note...... > > Would you spray this stuff on the intake runners?
