what kinda difference does that make Its funny I had 2 mixed up and i started it and it was so loud and i was like wow it made it sound way better untill i realized it when the car shook violently that they were wrong. Yeah it was mostly for looks but they claim 8-15 HP only a dyno could tell me if it made a diff. |
Wow, thats a super dirty engine bay...

v6's don't have much room to get the the wire boot onto the plug. Its cramped to get your hands in certain spots. I changed a buddy's and it was a pain as well. I did the same thing with his, had them wired wrong, and the car was chugging like it had a healthy cam in it, but we soon realized it wasn't the right configuration.

+1, why were they such a pain to put on?
yeah just as yellowstang said there is no room in that thing. I had to remove my intake just to have a better angle to pull them out and then put the new ones in but im happy i did it. |

Buy some engine degreaser, soak that puppy with degreaser, and then pressure wash it off. Just don't soak the alternator, distributor, and don't get real close up on your spark plug boots. V6 mustang engines are easy to clean. The v8's have the ignitor boots which sit kinda loosely and they get water in them easily but v6's are cake. I've been pressure washing motors for 7 yrs now haven't messed up one yet, and I do it daily. I pressure washed the crap out of my buddys then sprayed it with an aerosol armor all then wiped it down. After you wash it, get an air hose and blow the water off of everything before applying whatever shine you use. Most shines don't mix well with water.

Yea you just don't want to get the pressure washer right up on the electrical stuff. If you buy a good degreaser, it should make the dirt start to run, and then hold the washer about 2.5 feet away and spray off the degreaser. And do sweeping motions, don't spray in one spot for a long time. The places you want to get up a little closer with the washer is the painted parts (Firewall, inner fenders, etc.) so you can really get them clean. If you spray the bottom side of your hood with a pressure washer be careful not to hit the hood liner. It can make it sag and/or blow parts of it away. I usually just wipe the bottom of the hood.
