I also bought a new alternator (mine is shot from sitting with the lights constantly on)

New thermostat because i didnt want any chance of overheating

Ceramic Rattle can Anyone know where a nice heatshield could be found?

Some brake degreeser for the engine bay cleanup.

The timing was done 5k ago along with ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

I really wanna clean up the engine bay does anyone know what i should start with and how i can organize things and to fix the car so it will be running right?

Before and After I scrubbed the engine bay untill it shined like the sun Still got somemore to do, i pulled the radiator and fans as you can see why. There is a pin size hole in the radiator right by the melted Fan. I painted the manifold with ceramic paint, about 5 coats

NOTE: THE paint was wet when i took pictures.

Heat shield, ebay, classifieds, hard to find sometimes mine was on ebay for less than 20 bucks shipped, lower one i found in a trunk of a dsm at junk yard, i got that for nothing.

Excuse me sir, you bought the wrong brake cleaning devices, advance auto parts is better!!!!!

 

[Dsm4lyfe12]

Lol advanced is better but, autozone it was two dollars, i will be exploring ebay for the heatshield thanks for that info its a little darker than teal but lighter than navy if that helps you.
