I got bored

[jaybs02]

While waiting for someone I got bored and decided to give a quick once over on my now dead 90` culass. This car hasn`t moved since May of 04`, it`s parked under a tree, and I plan on using it for rotary practice (who needs a panel when you have a whole car :lol: )

Not my best effort but like I said I was bored. The car wasn`t started so I couldn`t take advantage of a warm engine to assist the degreaser.

I used
CD-2 engine degreaser 2X
Castrol super clean
2 toothbrushes and a good number of rags
Dressed w/ CD-2 engine dressing

The previous owner must have used something that had a bad reaction with the aluminum intake and valve cover because they were extremely pitted, maybe i`ll play with it later or maybe not :roll:

Don`t know why pics a showing up so large they were resized :dunno

Enjoy, have a happy 4th

You`d think an engine that clean would WANT to run now.:)

[jaybs02]

cej93:
Don`t know if i`ll bother to fix it, for now i`ll just practice

big leeger:
:doh , forgot to mention it was dressed with CD-2 engine dressing, the stuff is amazing, it`s just getting harder and harder to find.

Norah:
The engine is fine, with over 180K on it, doesn`t burn a drop of oil, it`s the tranny that let go on me :(
