As for engine cleaning you can probably find a place that will "steam clean" it for you. Does a pretty good job.

I've heard some nasty stuff on generic armor all, so i've never really used it, but I cleaned my engine with a three brush set i picked up for $1 at Northern Tool and Equipment, one nylon, one brass, one steel. WORKS WONDERS, sometime a lil soap water, and just some effort. Then use vinyl/rubber cleaner (I use meguiars gold class) on all the black stuff, making all the black deep is what makes engines look nice.

It'* even cleaner then this now, I also painted the letters on the cover. Can't wait for my red ADTR intake....

Can't keep up with corollas eh? Maybe you need a "Tuned Port Injection" 3800... Those 5 ponies and Ft/lbs gotta come somewhere! Actually i just like to keep it clean for two reasons...
1) If something breaks, then I can see what it is.
2) I like to have a nice clean car (as evident from my pix of stuff)
Oh yeah, we had pouring rain (finally) all thursday, and friday morn a lil, and my car is SPOTLESS, i love this wax.

Oh i've already done it, and my dad even showed it off, to a coworker that was at our house who used to have a 92-95 bonne.
Yeah but how much more HP does it have when the intake is pouring coolant into the block?
How about a L36 3800 series II, MFI, V6 High Output thats only 40 more horses than an LN3 and 35 more than an L27... He He He.... But I do have to say those L27'* do kick ***..
