Cleaning Engine
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had experience cleaning the engine bay. Mine is filthy and looks like it hasn't been clean since it came off the line. And if so what did you use. Thanks in advance.

Do not use general purpose degreasers as they attack aluminum, paint, plastics, and rubber. Use a real engine degreaser if it's needed.
Also, there's a full section of the forums devoted to cleaning http://www.ft86club.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42 |
