The caution I remember on aluminum wheels had to do with affecting their physical strength properties from ovens that were set too high - again not sure how valid it is. Wouldn't be an issue with steel or gray iron parts.

Didn't realize they had a powder coating now that would stand up to header heat.

Edit: easier to Google than speculate.
