AndyG8nby Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) After getting my shiny new plenum of mopedmark and fitted at Lake z it was time for another purchase, this time a bargain from Tarmac sportz in a shiny new strut brace, and a engine bolt kit. Finally managed to get a bit of time to spend on the Z on Sunday whilst the mrs was on the great north run. whilst I was on I decided to started to clean the gunk from the engine bay, now I know a lot of people recommend carb cleaner but I didn't have any, the only thing I could think of that may work was wd40 which has an unbelievable amount of uses including cleaning my slate fire place and my log burner. Worked a treat sprayed it on to a tooth brush bit of scrubbing and hey presto, fingers are in bits now! Managed to get most of my bolts fitted but still have a few countersunk small hex left over with a small anodised cap, I'm thinking these are for around the edge of the plenum if any one can confirm? Here's how I left it. Pleased with my days work. Edited September 8, 2014 by AndyG8nby 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Look's great especially with one of Marks polished plenums to complement the parts from Tarmac Sportz. 1 Quote
Keyser Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Looking very clean I hope you washed your toothbrush out again after - WD40 will taste terrible Quote
