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.

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  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

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