Engine Detailing Thread
javabug:
Yeah, mostly common-sense stuff sounds like. Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions, just trying to promote conversation about simple, yet important stuff we never get to hear about.
louisb:
One of my favorite engines. With the black on black paint all you really see are the carbs and block.

Harry/FDK:
I'm doing it the "virgin" way as well. First mate block to tranny, and start building her up. Guess what, still scratches. ;)
But i love to take a whole day or two just to do sparkleads, tie-wraps (hidden), oil/breather lines, touch-up, clean etc.
With some good tunes this is my favourite part, it's like putting your heart in that engine for the second time.
Rennsurfer:
WOW! That black Oval is all business and very mean lookin'. I love it.
Harry, I agree... just put on some good tunes, take your time, and have fun. The rewards when you fire it up and drive it are priceless.
This sucks... I know that I have a picture of Brian Plummer's white '67 engine from Bug-In 33 that I took. Can't find it. But it's in the August '08 issue of Ultra VW magazine. Stephan did a great article and pics. The engine picture RULES. Nothing like a set of Darth Vader black 48IDA carbs. One of the best engines I've seen.
lawrence:
Many nice engines here motivating me to get mine back in the car and make a few small changes while its out.
Isn't there a household chemical that will remove anodizing from AN fittings? Oven cleaner or something?
