Engine bay thread? Engine bay thread. Had a leaky valve cover so I mended it yesterday. While I was in there I had a little fun with the cover.

No idea, it works properly and there are no signs that it had any other finish aside from uniform rust.

I've seen it done dozens of times with a pressure washer, and nothing was even covered. Not once has anything broken.

Hundreds of clorox disinfecting wipes (seriously, pictured) and hours of wiping.

Also, I polished the header heatshield with mag/alum polish. I removed the carbon canister system and the windshield washer system. Also, the stock airbox took a lot of room, so the aftermarket intake opened up a lot of space (and also required moving the cruise control system lower in the bay).

Looks expensive. Mine is an eBay knockoff of the Racing Beat intake (but it has a real K&N non-oiled filter) which cost me $69 shipped.

Big block incoming. Built with alum heads. .60 over stroked to 528ci. 543 is being built. Transferring the heads after a dip. And yes, the bay is dirty and I need to complete the AC removal or reinstall the compressor, haven't decided which way to go yet.

My friend bought a legacy(so no turbos) to flip and I helped him pull the plugs and heads(blown gasket). It was a nightmare. Can't really imagine myself owning anything but an inline motor for that reason lol
