My Dakota 4.7 had magnesium covers, both were replaced under warranty because they leaked from a hole that corroded threw
Update/replacement was plastic

BTW Buy the premium gasket or they will leak for sure
Buddy gave me a set of aluminum Holleys for my SBC that he cound not get to stop leaking
I had used a victor tuff cork gasket with Permatex 2C sealer , the wing nut hold downs would come loose but it never leaked LOL
