Very nice job, chimp. Looks great. Got any tips on how you cleaned it? Mine is horrible and could use a good cleaning...

elbow grease, and de-greaser, and a hose. and about 2-3 hours of labor.  after done cleaning I used tire protectant on it.

be careful spraying water on the valve cover.  I got water down around the #2-3 plugs.  and it mage the car run real funny.  I ended up replacing the plugs and wiping out any excess moisture in there.  But I was spraying the engine with wreckless abandon too.

Black magic Tire wet. &nbsp;I wouldn't use it again though, b/c it's a bit to greasy and hard to work with.

I used purple power to clean it. &nbsp;make sure your engine is cold though. &nbsp;otherwise you'll have a weird white residue.

Yeah, make sure the engine's cold!
On a Celica, I've had the exhaust manifold warp & strip some bolts when it cooled down faster than the engine block.
