you need to clean the engine bay!....you use it as a portapotty?

And don't listen to your "friend"! You only deck what is needed...let the machinist tell you what is to be removed!

You only take off just what you need to to clean up the head.

There is a stickie that Ma70 put in the stickies on maintainance that has a lot of useful info, study it. Then if you have any specific questions post them
