My engine was covered in crap and getting right on my goat, so cracked out the fairy up liquid and t cut metal polish.

Spent about 20 minuntes on it because it was raining a bit, but im pleased with the result. Anyone with one of these engines will know they're a bitch to clean because there are bits and pieces everywhere that dont allow for easy access.

I'm pleased with the outcome, also, see what other main difference you can see?!

Before..



After..

Induction kit was replaced for a cold air intake pipe. Filter now sits down by the wheel so cooler air can get to it.

I used warm fairy and metal polish.

The engine management is tempramental enough without sticking a pressure washer on it! Fart inside the car and it throws up a fault code

They're not the most eye pleasing engines to look at are they

I prefer that to the great big plastic cover. The one on the V6 is a joke.
