Why don't you unscrew the fan studs from the water pump, they screw out. just use a little pipe wrench.

Engine bays are functional. One should not waste their time to make it look good unless its a show car.

Take some more time one day and clean the wiring up and safety tie it all neatly. Then degrease!

I agree. HOWEVER, I do like mine clean. Easier to work on, less grease. Plus if you dont have wires spread everywhere when you are working on it you are less likely to get snagged on one and accidently rip it out of its connector

The bottoms of most cars don't have as much grease as my engine bay. More grease the better. It's called rust protection. I agree it's not fun to work in, but rust is worse. Very poor quality picture, you may have to increase your screen brightness to appreciate the grease.

you guyz should know by now the only thing I painted on the car was the engine, the previous owner did all the other "customizing"including the fuse box...and I almost have no connectors left anyway most of the thing are just soldered ......I don't see any grease...if someone can point out the mods in my sig to the ones in the engine bay you'll get a prize!!!! (promise!!)
