Note that number 4 on the list, the Housing, is Steel on the CP3 and aluminum on the CP4. One of those things that make you go Hmmmm? Aluminum is cheap, fast, and easy to machine, it cuts like butter compared to steel or stainless steel. Easy on tool bits too.
Make a list of all places where aluminum contacts steel.
Examine it very carefully (not always possible) for coatings on either surface.
Look for evidence of corrosion, and something peeling off under a 10X or so lope.
