Default The wonders of a good motor scrub

I was just looking at some shots of my motor and saw this older one and said damn that was some dirty **** right there, just thought I would throw up the before and afters on it it speaks for its self the amount of difference it makes




and its even cleaner now I finished yanking the rest of the PS and A/C also the windshield wipers and all, only addition is threw in a MSD ignition

Oh yeah and replaced the bulkhead too

Wow...what a transition

My bay came out pretty damn good too, but I unfortunately didn't have the time to scrub it to that level!

used Simple Green Automotive and Turtle wax tire Foam. no pressure washer just thumb over end of hose powered washer, after I was done washing and scrubing everything I soaked the whole bay in a nice coat of tire foam then turned the motor on for about 15 minutes to bake it in to give it that nice "waxed" look
