I had the head on mine for the commute, it was pretty lol. That feels like a lifetime ago.

These were taken a year ago. The car is no longer black up front, and a lot of things have been taken out of the engine bay since then. I'll get around to taking updated pictures one of these days.

Rest are just rebuild shots, or old pre rebuild.

My car is usually pretty clean on the outside but my engine bay is downright embarassing.

Anyone have tips for getting oily smudges out of the valve cover/IM? :bang:

Paint? If you want to keep that look, I say sand or wire wheel it a bit, then cover with aluminum colored paint.

hustler 03-09-2009 02:39 PM

I used paint thinner and scrubbing. It still looked like shit when I painted it. I recommend you cut off the front of the cam covers so you can more easily check the timing and do the timing belt more easily.

meguiars super degreaser (professional line) is the BOMB.

Meguiar's Direct Super Degreaser

And follow that shit up with hyper dressing (also pro line)

Meguiar's Direct Hyper-Dressing


just hose your engine bay down by the instructions and it'll look brand new.
