Yea there nice little cameras as long as you have some lighting which is to be expected. videos come out nice to.

Yea i saw that one guy too. He had a ef or crx don't remember but it was the same engine bay it came out really nice. I was thinking spraying degreaser and the some soapy water after that and the dry it up with a cloth. Maybe after that i will use the wd40 to shine it a bit.

Who knows how far i will that this.

Damn man, if I had the luxury of having the engine out I would clean that thing up like brand new and then I would either polish it or wax it. I mean really how many times you going to have the engine out to do that?

I took my tappet cover off last summer and hit it with degreaser and a brush a couple times. When I got all the crap of I just used a polisher on a drill to give it some finish. The before and after pics are in my 'Introduce Yourself' thread if you want to check it out. It still looks pretty much the same 6 months later.

pics here....

Just make sure you plug all the inlets into your engine really good before you start spraying degreaser around.

Yeah, that's the same WD40 thread I was talking about... Hard to believe it's that good.

That head cover came out nice. I was going to paint mine but polish looks great. That 81 civic you had looked awesome, probably miss that car now huh.

I do not have before and after pics but trust me it was black you can still see some corners still look greasy but this is as clean as i want it.



Tommorow i will start cleaning the engine. I am just going for the front and the top of it.
