Default Dirty Engine

After all the flack I took Friday night at PR and not wanting to strip Zeke of the title of "Filthiest F-Body Engine", I cleaned my engine bay Sunday (not perfect but MUCH better) Here are the results.

Therein lies the problem, the business end matches the show end. Or should I put it, the business end matches the drivers end.

Oh Snap! Was that my outside voice again? Hey, you said you could take it last time we talked at the track.

Just bustin your chops Darrin. I know you wanna make it live to see another day.

I use a product called "Black Magic Engine Degreaser", available at most any auto parts store.......warm up the engine, spray it on and let it sit for 15 minutes then hose it off and run the engine till it is dry....usually about 10 minutes of spirited driving.

Speaking of backing away from things.......after reading your post I would suggest you put down the paint cans you are sniffing and try to focus.....
