I would throw in there some color matched valve covers FTW.

When I put the new motor in I will :) At 160k miles on that one I really don't want to drop too much money on making it look too good when it will be yanked out soon :)

I see you had to even have a Silver Battery too *L

HA! Of course!

Holy smokes, yeap Id wait for new motor.

damn thing looks like its got 160k on it too. lol.

What did you use to clean it?

you missed a spot.







lol. looks good, mine is just as bad and i need to detail it....im just too lazy.

oh, and why is there duct tape next to your brake booster?

When I got the car the rubber grommet for interior access was missing. Never knew until about a year or so ago when it was storming and I felt water drops on my feet. So yes...I slapped it on there so the inside would stay dry.

That has my approval..lol

haha, i've never seen an engine dirtier than slithers, and cleaner than mustangvsix's. lol.

The outside of mine is usually great. Under the hood is another story. I drive a lot so it is hard for me to keep it clean under there.

I should go snap a picture of my engine bay and you will change your mind haha (for being worse than Slithers)

lol i can't imagine.

how can you detail an engine??

I warm up my engine a bit then I usually cover my air filter, my battery, fuse boxes, and wrap aluminum foil around the cops. Mist it then spray some Degreaser (simple green, or some engine specific cleaner), let it sit for 5 minutes, then spray it off. Then let it run for 2-3 minutes, then use a leaf blower to dry it completely.

Then dress up all the black with Armorall, Back to Black, whatever you have.

i mean to "throw some color on there"..hehe

someone should make a TUTORIAL thread with what to use, what to cover and what to use to clean your engine bay the best.

Looks good, nice work! :t:

so what exactly do u cover?

Did you now just read what Steeda97 wrote. He said what he covers. read up a bit.
