Some mentioned to me that since I dont have alot of money right now that A good thing to do would be be deatil my engine area....What do you think they ment by detailing?

Give me pictures if you have them....

 

Write down a list of all the "details" in your engine bay. Hoses, wires, etc. Just describe them all.

Seriously though, Just clean the crap out of it. Soak it in simple green and wipe everything down. Grab some tireshine and shine up hoses and plastics, etc. HTH

 

You don't have to detail the engine bay just clean it up, by that I mean the dirt and grime.

Its a lot cleaner from when I 1st got her but I still have a long way to go

 

get all the dirt and grime out of there, neaten up the wiring, put new loom on the harness. Clean up or polish the TPI, add some nice valve covers, re-paint the brackets, replace rusty grimy stuff with new parts, anything to make it look better. Try to color-coordinate things. Nothing like having yellow plug wires on a red cap with other things painted blue under the hood.

 

yep, basically, just clean it up. I decided to do some polishing...and some painting..which helps a ton

 

you ought to find a way to mount those solenoids neatly. Make a bracket or something

 

you read my mind...got any suggestions? If so, PM me

 

I have a good write up and pictures on my site on this topic if you want to check it out. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/205049/14

 

84 custom that is a beautful engine... where my tpi setup as really oxidized how do i clean that up and make it shinny? is it possible?

 

oops didnt mean to post here

 

well, it depends. Is your plenum polished or does it still have the "cast" look to it?

 

Those are some killer valve covers

 

how do you put this stuff on?? Does it come in a spray bottle were you spray it on then rinse it off after?

 

I'm worried about messing up the paint outside the engine compartment from overspray.

Is simple Green safe on my cars exterior paint?

or what else is good stuff to use?

 

I've never had any problems, but then again It's really not that hard to keep it contained in the engine bay.

 

Hey whats up with your valve covers they look like LS1 valve covers but u have a TPI. WTF?

 

the are LS1 Fuel Rail Covers. My valve covers are in pretty bad shape...and just wanted to try something different. So, I cut the fual rail covers to cover the valve covers....they are alright for now...but I'll eventually install a differnent of valve covers.

 

I have a whole site on the chaos I went thru with mine! Granted I have spent some money with the chroming and aluminum accessories

Site is here

 

that is just beautiful....a work of art if i may say so
