The best advice I can give is to clean out the Valley as best as possible ideally with drill monted wire brushes and paint the area with 'Glyptal' paint that seals porus ally blocks, Usually used on the inside of an engine casting to seal them, however IF you clean the out side properly it does prevent the ally being eaten away.
