I never posted an engine shot sadly. Pretty much forgot about doing so until now but better late than never.

Nice shot.. You would be amazed how easy that engine cover will clean right up.

That Orangeglow stuff works pretty good to clean, then I think some use tire cleaner to make it shine. Really easy job to do

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try.
If I could get my engine bay looking like that, ooohhh boy, I would be a happy little clam.

Wait a minute, that coolant reservoir needs a little interior cleaning. j/k That is one clean power plant, looks real sharp!
