Let is sit for ~ 30 min, wipe off with rag (do not re-clean)

Then spray on the developer. Cracks would develop as jagged red lines through the developer

Little wicking around plug threads, but no cracks

Cool! Who'd you get the NDT kit from? That'd be handy in numerous places....suspension components come to mind.

Do a search on NDT non-destructive testing - you may have someone in your area. This is a "real" kit same stuff I used as industrial pump mechanic. They have the magetic kits too, just dont work on aluminum
