So you cleaned all the top of the engine with the wire brush? I gotta do something with mine-if not that then id love to get it all cromed up.

[jonnyboy]

what do you use to clean the plastic cover? mine always gets more muck on it when I wipe it with a cloth!

 

[fUbAr]

its called MucOff... its a degreaser used by MountainBikers.

Its bright pink, look in halfords in the bike section, its wicked stuff, just dont leave it on paint for too long.

What did you use on the inlet manifold?

I think you need some more practice at that cleaning. Theres a couple of 172s here that would be a good test
