    I dont know about anyone else but I'm having every bit as much fun with this thread as any of the rest of them... it just seems like a clean engine bay reflects the pride you guys have in your Tacos.

    Not as clean as I would like, but this will have to do till spring when I can get in there and give it the attention it deserves.

    Black Magic has a good engine cleaner out now and I use aerospace 303.
    Wife's old corolla was disgusting and I tried Gunk engine cleaner in spray bottle.
    Works great.

    Cool.
    Yea the spray bottle is a better buy. Just finish with some type of good protectant after any cleaner.

    About once a month...a 50/50 solution of Simple Green and water in one of those pump sprayers that you use for weed killer or bug spray. Let it sit for a minute or so and rinse it off with a garden hose. I usually dry off the engine cover with a towel

    I always have. 303 seems to buildup where black Majic doesnt. In my experience.
