Heating the aluminum will have the biggest effect. Aluminum has a higher coefficient of expansion and you can warm it up a lot more than you can cool the steel. The freezer will only be 50 or 60 degrees F cooler than room temp, but the oven in the kitchen can warm the casting 3 or 4 hundred degrees above the pin.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
