cleaned up the engine bay

[Trav83]

I thought there would have been an official "engine bay photo" thread somewhere but I couldn't find one. So anyway I got bored and decided to clean up my engine bay, it really wasn't that dirty to begin with but it still needed some wiping down. I sprayed a few things that were rusty with black engine paint

Comments are welcome and maybe a few others could post pics of their engine bay to give me some ideas.

True but hey look at the bright side, you get to wipe and polish everything with ease

Looks good bro, but get a timing belt cover on there.

What did you use to clean it all up? The best thing to do is get a 2000psi pressure washer and so degreaser and go to town. Afterwards I then polish everything with a regular metal polish.

I wish that was all I had to do to get where I am. You must not have seen my rebuild blog

I just wiped it down with some all purpose cleaner, didn't really wanna spend too much time on it. I own a pressure washer but I think it's only like 1600-1800psi. I've washed it once with it and when I did I took the battery out and covered up my CAS and air filter but I still worry about damaging stuff

Holy crap...that should be able to strip paint

I think you've been misinformed about pressure washers, mine is not very powerful. I mainly use it to wash the outside of my car, and it works great for that.

Engine bay looks good, maybe make a plate to mount the battery just above the tranny. I think it looks way cleaner, its real tight with stock battery tho and you have to remove your charcoal cannister

It's funny that you say that because I took the battery out when I was wiping everything down (to make it easier) and I did like how less cluttered it looked without the batter... but ya gotta have one I did remove my charcoal canister a long time ago, all my emission devices and lines have been completely removed.
