Engine bay tidy up
As most of us are staying in I thought I would tidy up the engine bay on the Charger, it's not had a proper clean since the fire in 2011. the first few are from before I started, more to follow as I do it, there's no rush as it's not going anywhere soon.

Good work, that's a proper job.

Looks great, well done !
Some days you're the windshield- some days you're the bug.
Re: Engine bay tidy up
Looks like your Workmate needs a freshen up too
Nice work. We've got a similar thread to start sometime soon...

Re: Engine bay tidy up
I thought it looked pretty good before you started and you had posted the pictures the wrong way round.

The workmate belonged to my Dad, Liz bought me a new one years ago but I refuse to chuck the old one out.

Re: Engine bay tidy up
Matt, I've neglected the engine bay for a few years now so I thougt I would take the opportunity to do it now. I'm not going to go to mad on it, I did think about pulling the engine out, but that thought didn't last long.
I did a little more today just to try and stop the boredom setting in. I'll paint the enging at the weekend when it's a little warmer.

Re: Engine bay tidy up
Looked nice before you started and will look super now. Nice work.
Although I think you are brave breaking all those perfectly-sealed-gaskets. Hope you have more luck sealing rocker covers than me ! Just done one and I can still hear the 'tssss.......' of a drip from something !

Morgan, the rocker cover gaskets have been there a very long time, they have been on and off a few times now, they were given to me by an old member called Neil, at the time he gave away a few for people to try before he started selling them.morgan wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 20 11:06 am Looked nice before you started and will look super now.

Re: Engine bay tidy up
Is that VHT on the manifolds Derek? How long does that stay on?
Autosol on the inlet,I’d be reaching for the electric polisher. Last time I did my Slot mags I managed to cover everything in black flecks and polish and it took all day,rewarding but made my back hurt. Alloy has a lovely texture when polished

Re: Engine bay tidy up
last time we did our cast manifolds, we used VHT, but the cast-iron version:Captain Chaos wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 20 1:46 pm Is that VHT on the manifolds Derek? How long does that stay on?
