Thumbs up Cleaning on Sunday (pix)

This past sunday I called my friend over to help clean the enginebay a little...it turned out to be a 9 hour job!!! Anyways...here are the results...I still have to do some more to some of the components in the enginebay but I'm pretty much done taking off the yellow crap and 20 years of grime in there...

I used Castrol Super Clean and a plastic brush with a regular garden hose...You can see other pix on my site... http://hroman.slac.com/rx7

heh, imagine that, I had the same idea and also cleaned up my engine bay a bit over the weekend... here are my pics (I don't have time to put together before/after shots, so here are my "in the process" shots)









I hope to have a 75-80% clean engine bay by the end of the summer (and when i say "clean" I mean "spotless"
