The forgotten Beige 69 510 build - NWD edition

[draker]

Some progress tonight. I pulled the oil pan off and started cleaning it.. also getting ready to pull the front cover and get that cleaned up.

Picture to prove I'm not lying...

The green can. Always use the green can.

Why?

[DRIVEN]

Green is non-chlorinated. I just like it better. Doesn't leave a residue like the red can formula.

Carry on.

You need to black out that oil filter, it just makes me cringe.

Well I used up all the red stuff last night. (3 cans) I'll buy green next time. It's cleaper too.

Yes, I have the front suspensions parts. The cross member is mounted on my 71 2 door. The 200sx stuts are for sale. I went with 280zx stuts. When I get everything together... you will have mail. Either that or an in person delivery of some sort.

how long thinking of maybe a morning meet up here soon

[draker]

It would probably be a out a while. I'm not that close to needing the parts anytime soon. I'll keep you posted though for sure.

I could however use a finned L16 valve cover coated up really nice.

[jrock4224]

u got one? we can do that just text me

The green can. Always use the green can.

So I bought 4 cans of the green expecting good things. All I can say is.. Have you ever used the red can? lol

The green smells way stronger than the red... but it doesn't hardly do anything for cleaning, comparatively.

The red is more expensive.. contains more product.. and in my opinion after trying the green can, the red works MUCH better.

I tried to make a video... but I ran out of the red can.. and the video is not great.


Anyway.. now I have 3.5 cans of the green stuff.

that thing just needs wheeled outside and pressure washed. You could wrap the head so no water got in the intake/exhaust ports, then just blast the fucker and then use brake clean.

Yeah.. your right. I'm doing it the hard way. I'm surrounded by pavement so it makes it a little tough. I don't like oil spots on the driveway or road. Once I get this thing moving.. engine bay will get that treatment though! It's not as oily.. just dirty.

...the red works MUCH better.

YMMV. That just hasn't been by experience. Sorry to lead you astray.
So...pics of shiny like new engine?
