I look at your engines with envy and I want to keep my stock however the "house cleaning" under the hood looks great! I can see I need to get out my polish and cleaners and get to work. Great job you guys!!

I heard that engine degreaser tarnished the valve covers so I left mine alone. Now they look worse than tarnished ones. LOL
I'm looking to buy a set of centerbolt valve covers to clear the rockers that are being installed.

Clean by hand using rags, 303 Aerospace Protectant, Mothers aluminum polish and a good helping of elbow grease. Once the engine bay is cleaned like this it is relatively easy to keep it this way despite year round driving.
