New engine pics
 

I've been wanting to finish up detailing my engine bay for a while & I finally had the chance to do it this afternoon. Tell me what you guys think!

Another huge thanks to Josh @ JS Performance for letting me come by and power wash the engine bay and painting the Alternator bracket.

ITS ALIVE!!!!! Or at least it is put back together from the last time I saw it outside JS Performance.

Looks good man! Not bad for an old LT1 ;-)

hmm thats a familiar looking maf...:wink:

engine bay looks great though, I definately have to clean mine up too

needs less A/C and bright yellow things on those fuel lines

So how many miles you put on the new motor is it at least broken in?

I don't believe so. He hasn't had it that long, I know he said he can't go over 4500 rpm for a while.

Looks awesome Alex, did you just powerwash it? Or what else did you use to detail it?

There's no AC :knock: Those yellow things are the fuel danger stickers they won't come off without leaving the tape residue on them. I can deal.

I've got to put at least another 1,200 before I drive it back to PA for its switch to Synthetic. I've put about 600 on since I picked it up a month or so ago.

I power washed the engine bay when the engine was out over the summer. I just used some tire shine on a small sponge to go over everything and make it shine like it does. I still have to go over it once more with some degreaser to get all of Josh's dirty marks off things when it went back in :lol:

you gonna have it dyno tuned and get some numbers on the beast?

Looks nice and clean!

I can make those miles go real quick i usually change my oil once a month sometimes thats how quick i add the miles.

hey, I didnt leave any marks! Besides where I signed the fender in grease and the drivers seat, and the t-tops... LOL!!!!! Lookin' good!

then whats the hose with the A/C looking fitting to the left of your intake elbow?

annnnd...take the whole piece of loom off the fuel lines and put plain black loom back over them

That is a coolant hose with bleed fitting. And the factory loom is shaped if you replace it, it usually looks like crap.

lookin good!

bah...who needs a coolant hose with a bleeder built in? god damn LT1s

its a pain in the ***. to bleed. Unless there is a correct way and i don't know about it. lol

yup i guess you dont cause its not that hard.... :moon::moon::moon:

you know how i bleed the system in my ford? drive it then fill up after the air bubbles come out of the radiator :lol:
