Cleaning Under the Hood...

gambari · 02-17-2009, 05:40 PM

Hello Gang,

I am looking for some insight into what peoples engines look like as well as what cleaning products/techniques are recommended to prevent damage to vital components? I realised that I pay a lot of attention to the outside and inside cabin of my machine but the engine can do with some help.

Pictures and comments are welcome

If you hang out at autopia.org very long, you'll start modding your Metabo rotary instead of your Benz

I love cleaning my engine bay. In this pic. The eng. is dirty, but the powdercoated parts still make a pretty pic IMO. U can always take parts off and have them powdercoated:

A polished or powdered s/c cover is always hawt!!
