Woohoo! Nice job man. It definitely looks a ton better. It's only the valve cover that's really dirty now..

yup, it was very sad to see. im getting a g20 cover soon and it will be getting a 3 step house of kolour candy red treatment. and now the worst part is the rubber hoses and plastic parts. the reason for the dirt is when maccon painted they didnt tape the engine bay off nearly at all so there is over spray EVERYWHERE. dirt stuck to the paint and then the top pic is the result. i was very conserviative this time because i was scared of water in my engine bay (old engine+old electronics+water=BADDDD) But when i put the battery in it fired up on the first shot! so next time im useing a brush and scrubing that bitch up!

any one know of a good rubber/plastic cleaner? all i can ever fine is "dressing" you think tire bleach would work?

I see a cracked hose next to injector no. 3, that header looks nasty... take it off, strip it down with a wire brush and paint it in high heat silver paint. You could do the same with the valve cover.
