Yes. The biggest issue with the aluminum heads and block is people using cleaning tools or techniques that are too abrasive, and will actually mar the sealing surface. Take a wire cup brush for instance. Great for knocking rust off things, but take it to some aluminum,and you can pretty much count on buying a new block or head. DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH ON ALUMINUM.
