Some of the new generation High roof cases had a issue with not having a breather hole cut inside the case. We check and mod all our cases to make sure they are correct.

The alum case will run a little hotter than the mag case but it's much stronger.

Both are in stock.

Yes, oil temp will be a little higher as the Alum will retain more heat. What size engine were you looking at building? PM me and I'll see what I can do.
