So this weekend is our big show in Saskatoon where we are expecting 900-1000 cars and I'm putting the Corvette in the show. It became blatantly obvious that my car was a mess! Especially the engine, so I decided to clean it. I covered the alternator with a bag and sprayed the engine down with the hose staying away from the battery/fuse area. Then I sprayed nearly everything with Simple Green Max Green degreaser and then rinsed and repeated. The engine fired right up after and looks so much better! I am no longer ashamed to open the hood. Here are some pictures.
Dirty, dirty engine.
Crap built up on the valve covers

Happy non embarrassing engine
Much better! Now I just have to clean the outside and I am ready for the show!
