What temp does AL start "browning" at?
I was wondering if anyone knew the general temp range when the AL parts of the engine will start to brown due to overheating?

Sorry, beyond the capitalization of the L I was hoping people would recognize it as the element symbol for Aluminum. So for any further clearing up let me throw some more info in. When the aluminum housings brown on the bottom side it is said to be caused by the engine overheating. Does anyone know at what temperature range this occurs at?

On a couple motors I've seen this browning on the bottom but currently I'm seeing it on coolant passages in the housings and the thermostat housing and was wondering if was from the same thing.
