Engine bay bored
 

new pics coming

looks good, get the alternator powder coated red and get the billet motor mount and leave the rest IMO

yeah alt is deff next step!!! i was considering that motor mount but a few posts said it is rougher on the idle not for me you cant really see in pic but thats a new motor mount just put it in yesterday painted it to.

Looks nice, very clean. How do you go about cleaning and detailing your engine?

well thats dirty to me i havent cleaned it yet this summer. if dont properly you can get it really good. i cover anything electrical with plastic shopping bags. any wires, battery, alt, etc.after making sure everything is covered wery well spray liberally and I mean LIBERALLY the entire engine bay with simplegreen at full strength with engine at regular operating temperature. let it sit for 5-10 minutes 10 if its really dirty then rinse with low pressure very low pressure. turn car on immediately after about 20 minutes if you choose to you can spray it with a detailer or clear tire shine to add a high gloss which i do but it will allow dirt and dust to stick easier but i just like the shiny clean look.

FYI, you can cover up just the alternator and spray the whole thing down with a garden hose, if you really wanted to. but yeah, Simple Green it the best for a really dirty engine bay.

guess I'm not the only nite owl, lol.

lol not really a night owl...my son woke me up, wife is feeding him now. I just hopped on real quick to check some stuff out.

BTW, the engine bay looks nice diezl. :)

So just cover up the alternator and that's it? What about any of the wires or wire harnesses?

well to be safe i cover any wires anything electrical like sensors just to be extra safe. and yea simple green is really good ive used a few different products(spray nine, purple power,awesome and a few of the ones in a can you get at auto part stores) but simple green was the best. painting alt today.

i think its better thanks for idea gr1m

wow that looks fu*kin good!

That's purty. Did you polish the manifold and valve covers or paint them?

:) thanks i primed painted and clear coated it all with high heat paint. its like tattoos im addicted now i wanna do the water pump and thermo housing.

i was going to say the water pump now stands out.

When doing up an engine bay you always have to look at what the next thing might look like crap and if i do this then i need to do that........which is why i need more chrome.
