Im getting some oxidation on the front of the head, front of the block and alittle on the alternator. Is there anything I can use to make it look better ?

 

Fine grit sandpaper.

 

800-1000 grit sandpaper.

 

a good gunk and a spray down with some armor all,

gunk and wash the engine and allow it to dry

when engine is dry spray armor all or engine detailer over entire engine, dont be stingy spray it on heavy.

DO NOT WIPE, shut hood and drive car, check it a few hours later, unless its very bad oxidation, your problem will have dissapeared

 

scotch-brit works better then sandpaper it doesnt leave scratchs. as for the armor-all??? never tried that one going to though,,jt

 

cover all the dirty parts, except the obvious parts(distributor, plug wires, etc) in engine degreaser and warm up the engine. warming the engine allows the degreaser to penetrate into the dirt and grime. rinse it off after the engine cools a little.
