The good 'ole Post Your Engine Bay thread.

PsychoTruckin · 03-01-2007, 10:55 PM

Yup, so I noticed that the Post Your Engine Bay thread was missing *guessing from the crash, was gone for a month or two when that happened* so here it is. Let's see those pretty engine bays ... or not so pretty in some cases. I'll pop a few shots tomarrow of mine. Need to get some before shots before the new motor anyways.

I got it at Lane Automotive in Watervliet MI, if you look at your carb from the top you will see it has a single threaded hole for a single bolt. I don't remember if the bolt came with it or if I had to buy it seperate. And thanks for the compliment!

beandip · 04-12-2007, 09:27 PM

i would do it. its decently worth it. on mine all i do is warm the engine up a little bit then spray it down, and detail it. just try to keep the pressure washer or water jet way from the computer. then shine it up.

officialvin · 04-12-2007, 11:39 PM

well its not the cleanest but it gets the job done

and i cleaned it up after everything was hooked up and running

Is that chromed or polished?

I cant even imagine how much work that would have been if its polished.

SY2932 · 04-13-2007, 07:56 AM

It is polished/buffed. Several folks on syty.net wanted to know how it was done so I did a "how to" write up last year.

stockchevy1983 · 04-13-2007, 02:11 PM

98 2.2 with ebay intake

tt85_GM · 04-13-2007, 03:05 PM

Painted the Letters on the air box a couple months ago.

99SonomaHeavenS · 04-13-2007, 07:53 PM

so as long as i dont spray computer and keep it running i cant hurt anything?

tt85_GM · 04-14-2007, 03:39 AM

You wont hurt the computer, they have seals on the harnesses, but I would keep the engine running anyways.

I never keep it running.

I warm it up to soften the grease, but then shut it off.
Just my preference.

comics22 · 04-18-2007, 01:14 AM

let it dry for the rest of the day if your worried about somehting shorting cuz of water. i cleaned mine and my wipers wouldnt shut off so i just unplugged the harness fromt he motor and let it dry and plugged it back in and works fine

perfect 10 · 04-18-2007, 11:50 AM
