As for the clean, I can only do what I can to maintain it. As for leaks - praying for none but if I get one I should be able to find it quickly.

Looks good now. Post a pic in a few months after the oil seepage and exhaust heat discoloration turns the heads a yellowish brown color.

I was going to paint my engine silver this time around, but after I pulled the accessories off and saw how dirty it had become, I decided on black.

So, if you knew that, then why were you surprised?

I bet your reply would be "I was not surprised yada yada [insert lame overused insult here]" Let me jog your memory.

I have a carbed v-belt and have gotten rid of **** on the front of the motor mine is a very simple setup. Not trying to get in a pissing match with u just saying it looks like one big bracket with a lot of stuff on it. Im used having pretty much nothing on the front of the motor.
