WOW! That is very nice! See how much newer the engine bay looks if it's cleaned regularly?

Yeah and that takes what, about a day and a half to do w/ out a life and 2 people? And if you really wanna "detail" the engine I recommend using Colgate Navigator or Precision, with the fine, soft bristles.

Using cold water from a hose(no pressure washer) on a warm engine will help. Clean under the hood first with some degreaser & a brush. Then do the same to the engine taking care around electrical stuff. With the engine still wet spray some water based dressing, close hood & let run for 5 minutes or so. Wipe of all excess dressing.

not at all takes 1 person about 30 minutes to pull the engine, whole job takes about an hour and a half, with 30 minutes of cleaning, but hey i guess to someone without the know how and the correct tools i guess it may take u longer , the hardest part is putting the hood back on with one person cuz it's kinda heavy and bulky, to hold it with one hand and try to match up the screws. i'll have to pull my engine in about 3 weeks to put in a new b16 cuz my current one needs to be rebuilt. I'll make sure i put up pics so u can see how its done RIGHT.:slap:
