 Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2012 12:04 pm Post subject: ACF-50 Anti-corrosion between block and alternator mount... |
 |
|
When I took the old alternator mount off the engine, I noticed there was some corrosion on the engine block under the alternator mount. My new alternator (B&C) gets its ground through the mount. Can I use and anti-corrosion film such as ACF-50 on the block before bolting the mount to the engine? Or will that place resistance in the ground path for the alternator?
Thanks,
Michael-

Michael,
Since nobody has responded yet...I will offer my .02
It is my understanding that products like ACF-50 are used to prevent
oxidation/corrosion from developing. If the part is already corroded, I
would suggest removing the corrosion and then use the ACF-50 to prevent it
from returning anytime soon. You may also look for a electrically
conductive paste that will seal out the oxygen. There should be plenty of
electrical pathway capacity through the mounting bolts regardless.

That's what I did. I cleaned off the corrosion and then put ACF-50 in between before bolting the new mount to the block.
Sounds like that should be ok.
