Cool guys. I'll be off to the auto shop today and spend the afternoon with my baby. I'll be detailing it next week too. Should I clean the engine then detail it?

sandblasting is the way to go, i mean if you really wanna see them parts looks like brand new thats the way to do it. other than that, i bought a big bucket, some engine degreaser "costco sized", and i would just grab the parts i wanted cleaned and put it into the bucket filled with the degreaser and let it sit over night

then spray them parts down and let them dry. if you really want it to look shiney. goto like shucks,autozone,wal mart and get a coarse wire brush wheel. those things do amazing stuff
