Re: Engine Cleaning
Well I thoguht I'd let you know what I used for my engine. Your drain hole must be clean to do this though. I use GUNK ENGINE BRITE...soak the motor and compartment down with it . Sits a few minutes and then let 'er have it with the water enough to wash the GUNK off. I have done this with both the ZR-1's now. Of course I don't do it every weekend, just initially to get the grime off, and #473, this one was real dirty. Then I have had success with Adams Buttery wax and In-n-Out spray (No Longer Available) all over the engine compartment. I keep my engines pretty clean on a weekly basis.
What do you think?

Re: Engine Cleaning
Very nice John. Mine will never look that good. Every time I start to work on cleaning, I get an over-powering urge to go for a drive.

Re: Engine Cleaning
mmm shiny good!
If you have to pull the plenum, you might as well enlarge the drain hole in the back of the starter valley. Thats the problem child. 3/8" drill is what I remember opening it out to. Not a problem since. Now I'm going out to get some gunk engine bright. mmm shiny |

The other one, Ive cleaned twice that way. The hole was cleaned and you can actually hear the water draining, a sucking sound kinda was heard. If you can, take some before and after pics.
