    Default Engine detailing

    Bit of engine detailing today ready for sunday at gaydon and the last event in my ZT.

    Also copied Tims idea of polishing the air con pipes and they come up surprising well with very little effort

    Take engine out, dunk in some acid or something else corrosive. Use high pressure water to clean off acid and dirt. Put back in. 5 minute job.


    At least my engine bay is uniform in colour. That being 'dirt'... haha. No, apart from some water marks, the engine bay is pretty clean thanks to the undertray.
