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

yes the nice thing about the 7A intake manifold, is you can open it up
