cover the dizzy, carb ,coil and any other electrical bits.

DONT steam clean it only use cold jet wash!

use diesil or "GUNK" on the block etc to get the oil and muck off

Im a Corporate tart :D

get a garage to do it for ?10 they will use the propper stuff (truck degreaser) and a 150deg steamer.... only bits u need to cover are the alarm, make sure the engine is hot when u go there

i have valleted for 5 years, what we used was stuff called TFR thats trafic film removal, its a bit harsh on [paintwork so u must be carefull

make sure the engine is running when u do it and as soon as it cuts out (if it cuts out) stop washing and start the fucker back up.

alarms are a no go so cover in cling film or a plastic bag

heres a point though
all that grease and shit in the bay is protecting the metalwork so if u blast it of make sure u can be arsed to wash under there quite a bit to prevent future rusting.

1 more good tip, spray plug lead ends with WD40 after the use of water

Micky.....have you got any tips on removing old engine bay lacquer?

The engine bay in my GTE is covered in the stuff...all old and orange/yellow coloured.

I've managed to scrape a lot of it off of the engine, injection etc, but can't get it off the suspension turrets without damaging the paint.

I've tried white spirit with no joy.....any suggestions?
