So you're going to clean up your engine bay, what type of things might an individual look out for? Well here's your chance to share your experiences with your fellow members. Good or bad, post them here!

- What tips and tricks have you learned during your experiences? (Cleaned up well, ruined my motor...)

- What products work better than others? (Simple green,...)

- What products should you not use? (Oven cleaner around rubber....)

- What do you need to watch out for? (Covering up the dizzy,...)

Let's hear your stories!

For a little help in showing what a little elbow grease will do, I asked tcb-1 to provide some pictures of his engine bay. I have seen this thing first hand and let me tell you... I would eat off this thing!!!

(Disclaimer: This in no way is a dare I will have to meet at any meet, show, or other get together board related.)

Now as you can tell, tcb-1's engine was fairly cleaner than most when he first picked up the truck, but it still took a lot of work to get it to where it is now. Props to tcb-1 for providing the pics, now post away guys!
