Damn, that's one Shiney EGR.

Method?

 

.

 

theres even shiny black paint below it! new pipes? looks good does it work better? thats the power valve i thought too.

 

Lots of wire wheeling/sanding/buffing and some paint/clear coat.

 

The egr to y-pipe line was cleaned up also,though it didn't stay shiny like the rest of the egr system Too much heat i guess.

 

Looks Niiiice

...I threw my egr away.

 

You have way too much free time.

 

.

 

Dude i'll give you $50 to clean my engine like that

 

I could shine up my spare egr..

 

Hey not bad, I did the exact same thing nearly 2 years ago but only stayed like that for 1 month cuz I didnt apply a clear coat. What do you use for clear coat? I'm gonna do this again!

 

Cheapo clear coat,i don't know how long it will last though,so far it still looks like the day i put it on(about a week)

 

yea but is there like a brand or anything?

 

Wallyworld brand..

 

well seeing those pics and your sig pic, you know how an engine should look
Just a good cleaning is all i ask

(btw, i am a noob @ mechanics/engine parts, especially w/ the VE) but what's an egr (or can u pm me so we don't spam up your thread

 

Well MD is a little far for me to drive just to clean an engine bay.

That looks so SEXY wanna do that to my mine?

 

the exhaust manifold stud is still broken.

 

Meh,it doesn't have any ticking sound yet,i'm waiting for a few more to break..

 

Home powdercoater? I have been thinking about getting one for myself,do you use your oven to bake it on?

 

Yeah, it's one of those cheapie $100 Eastwood powder coaters...

I have an old kitchen oven in the garage to bake parts in. big enough for a 16" wheel or an IM, but that's about it. this thing BARELY fit in there (look at the other pics in the directory)

 

Having an oven for non kitchen items... now thats hot, nice work matt+green

 

$50 at a garage sale, mang.

you should see what I'm doing with the spare fridge the wife isn't filling with crap.

 

Dead porsche owners?

 

Either that or dead machine shop owners
