I was never proud of going to a meet and opening my hood since it was dirty and grimy always. There was always somebody who made fun of it such as Joe (maximan190) and finally yesterday I went to his house and he pressure washed it for me.....all I can say is WOW!!!!!!. Lets just say now I am a proud owner of a clean VE engine bay. Here are some pics

 

This a pic from before

 

pressure wash? isn't that not kosher with electrical stuff?

 

All the electrical was covered Danny. Nothing electrical was wet in the process, thanks for the lookout though.

 

ahhh ok.

 

Looks good! I used non-diluted Simple Green and muscles to get my VG looking shiny again. Keeps the grime off so the engine doesn't get as hot.. not just for looks but for performance.
