well the last 3 days i spent scrubing the engine with parts cleaner i used a large soft metal brush a smaller one and a tooth brush took alot of hour's and a few rags busted my knuckles alot lost some blood but it was worth it

i took the engine to the shop at work and used the small presure washer"3500psi" i used castro super clean to help remove any parts cleaner or oil and to help losin any caked on crap i missed..

i would recomend tapin the ports off i just loaded the engine with oil before washing and made sure everything was oiled internally..

Wow, so THAT'S what the engine looks like... lol.

Is that engine stock, or have you put a finish on those housings? My engine's been dirty-grease-colored for as long as i can remenber... hard to imagine mine that shiny...

Think i've found a new weekend project...

Nice work!

Looks very nice man. I still need to pull my motor to correct a flywheel compatability issue, and when it comes out it will definitely be getting the same treatment...

+a bunch on looking great! curious though- is there a finish on the housings/front cover? were they previously polished? I was going to do this to my current motor before it went in, but got lazy/time crunched and never got around hauling the motor over to a buddys place to do it...was also going to pressure wash the seats-grassroots ms did an awesome write up on pressure washing things in/on your car to make them look new again ha...

no polishing no paint no finishing materials
just good old fasion elbow grease with parts cleaner and wire brush and tooth bruch for around bolts then the pressure washer did the rest just have to be carefull not to blow holes in ya front cover gaskets..

thanks everyone didnt expect so much good

Wow I can't believe how clean the housings and front cover are, sweet!

Have a question for ya, do these studs serve any purpose? Or can they be taken out?

blwfly

iTrader: (4)

HA! Real Men do all this detailing with the engine still in the CAR! -Right Ray!?
Seriously tho , nice! Pop out the oil filler and paint it up to compliment the block.
Yeah, bolts for air cond and power steering. Attach 2 nuts to the stud, wrench the INNER one and they spin right out...
