    Damn I need to badly clean out my engine bay as it has dirt splatter all over the place. Granted it will probably get trashed again before I have a chance to clean it. Looks like your engines havnt even turned over before because they are so clean!:thumbsup:

    Doesn't it always seem your Tacoma rides and the engine sounds better, when you have it really clean?

    Too few to list.
    If you encounter mud, sometimes its not as easy as a spray and rinse. I've actually sponged the entire engine bay and under carriage. Engine bay wasn't so bad but be ready to get soaked with the under carriage.
