May I ask how you cleaned it or has it always been like that? I can clean the engine pretty good but do you just like spray something all over the bay and rinse it off or do you get your hands and body all into it?

when i do clean it , i park it out back in our field and spray it down with Simple green. let it set for a few min. then spray it down with the hose....

Would you say that Simple Green is better than those cans of engine degreaser and such?

that was before I took the degreaser to it, just sprayed it out with a carwash non spot spray.

well, i have a few here.

Thats of my old 93 SSEi
This is of my new 02 Alero


A little bit of armroal wiped on all the black parts will make em shine nice to.

I wrap the intake pipe with insulating tape that has the foil backing. Foil to the outside. I also installed a crossover pipe heatshield (additional) to help further.

The grey pipe pointing at my SC is part of my ramair cooling. The passenger side cools the SC, the driver'* side duct and scoop over-pressures my heatshield for the intake to keep hot engine bay heat out.

Read it and weep boys!! I know your jealous :P

Regals not much to look at under the hood.....and thats the point....even if I show someone the engine they will still think its stock, just think of the possibilities, MWAHAHAHA
