	the yellow shit is laquer, you find that alot of folks spray it all over the place to make the engine look good... shame when it gets old and grimey it looks shite. mines was the exact same mate, i just sanded it down and painted it gloss black.. totaly changes the bay for the better!

	take it off with petrol. or carb cleaner works as well.

	Its a wax that they put on the engine when it comes out of the factory to stop it corroding and to keep it looking clean. If its not cleaned off tho, the engine gets hot and eventually bakes it on. You can get it off with some strong solvents but you run the risk of removing the paint as well. Just take it easy!

	just general crap that builds up, probably peeling off the crappy laquer finish on it
