Yikes. I've never heard of porous main bodies.
I do know that the dichromate has slowly dripped off my Holley, and "dripped" really isn't the right word, it seems more like a very, very fine powdery mist that just drops off from the bottom up. It actually leaves a stain on the manifold that looks like an
oil stain, but that comes right off with a paper towel and soap. But my Holley is now over ten years old, so I guess it's too much to ask for the coating to stay on that long.
