The key to utility with aluminum is maintaining the piece. Keeping the thing clean might involve a quick rinse right after use. It's a great idea if one minimizes the amount of water run down the drain. It only takes a couple of seconds. (We're conserving water in the kitchen and elsewhere, right?) Without running down the chemistry involved, aluminum does or doesn't rust in the conventional sense. It will oxidize under certain conditions, but it is fairly easy to clean. Heavily oxidized aluminum may present a dull finish or even a whitish deposit. The reason aluminum resists corrosion is because when aluminum is exposed to air (oxygen), a thin layer of oxide forms and this stops any further corrosion. Every time we scour our pan, we remove some of this layer. (But don't panic - the layer is only a few atoms thick.) Need to clean aluminum? There is nothing like making tomato (spaghetti) sauce and simmering it for a while in an uncoated aluminum pot to clean the inside. The results are spectacular. Aluminum can be cleaned with a wet paper towel and scouring powder, a green scrubbie with or without scouring powder and with steel wool. Anyone who is fastidious can bring up a nice shine on aluminum with fine steel wool and a bit of elbow grease. And the whole thing can be done "dry" instead of with water and/or scouring powder. (You can see your results immediately.) But work over newspaper or the like so mess is minimized. Some aluminum things can present a challenge, like a garlic press. But they can be cleaned - and should be. Bon appétit!

No. generally speaking your engine block, heads and intake will be a coated cast iron or cast aluminum. Neither will rust.

If you are worried about your exhaust manifold rusting you can purchase header wrap or paint them with high temp paint.
