My engine bay is pretty damn clean on the whole, but the block and intake manifold have some normal corrosion. I was wondering if anyone has tried cleaning/polishing the engine while it was still in the engine bay. I was thinking maybe a small wirebrush and some degreaser or some other type of cleaner?
Any thoughts? -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S

I'll use this topic to avoid opening a new one for this kind of basic information:
I'm about to get my valve cover sandblasted and I'd like to do the same with the "air intake cover" (not sure if the right, marked it on the pic below), so now the question is: can I remove that cover just the same as the valve cover, or are there perhaps some things I must be careful around there (like fuel injectors, airflow sensors...) ?
