pretty sure it's just the aluminum. as for the injector lines you may be able to bring them up to a real nice shine bare metal... i'm pretty sure they dont rust; if anything go get a rattle can of clear coat

and you can cheat... go to a chrome shop and you can get a polishing wheel for a grinder... may be able to cut afew steps out of the hand sanding; do it all by machine... two double bench top grinders. one wire wheel and then 3 stages of polishing wheels; i'd go this route if you plan on doing anythign and everything thats aluminum on the truck

to polish the valve covers you need to use aircraft stripper on them and then sand them in steps to the highest grit desired until you like the way they look. them take them to a buffing wheel and start with black jewelers rouge then go to green then finish with white. them you can use regular polish to finish them. to make your fuel and heater lines shine get them chromed(they are steel not aluminum) but you can polish your intake.
