Default Another engine clean!

Hi all, with all the recent posts of cleaned engines, it's inspired me to do mine, well more the bulkhead,inner wings and underside of the bonnet really.

Here's before, showing the minging bulkhead/bonnet:



And after today's efforts:











It's a job I've been putting off,and don't fancy doing again! The muck was really hard to remove, probably baked on there from the heat.

Thanks, Mit

I used t-cut, and plenty of elbow grease! I also gave it a sealing polish after to help it stay clean, as t-cut is quite a harsh cutting agent.

Now that is impressive. It was pretty good first time but you've taken it to another level!

I do like your engine bay and engine especially with the coloured pipes and brackets. Anybody would think that you have had a respray under there now as it looks spot on.
