It will crack. Real fast. Espcially if it is a SSAC one.

Damn clean motor though!

Ive seen SSauto manis wrapped for 2 years + with no problems. I have a flex pipe in the DP, and a brace welded from the head flange, to collector flange. Thanks for the heads up though, itll be interesting to see what happens in my case.

I think it has something to do with the wrap retaining moisture.
