Well now, there's a confession you won't find over on the HAMB!
As to Chrome engine parts, I've always heard the same stuff about leakage of water pumps, intakes, and charging issues with chrome alternator housings, etc.
My experience is that if you buy quality chrome (or billet) parts, install them per instructions, you won't have anymore problems with them than you would with non-coated parts. I have several chrome parts on my engine and have never had any problems.
Just my 2 cents.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
