Post Greased Lightning

Bought some "Greased Lightning" Carb/Injector cleaner (spray can) to clean up the throttle body/housing, before I start putting things back together. This stuff is great, but expensive @$7.99/can. I used it in the engine bay too. It took 2 decades of grime off everything. Sprayed it on, and washed the oil, carbon and other crap away. I'm not easily impressed, but this stuff works.

Nnoooooohhh.
Don't do that, Tony!!!
Next thing you know you'll be mindlessly, wiping things off under the hood... then cleaning...shining... Little tiny brushes, Q' tips, intakes that look like Randy's...whre does it stop?
Next thing you know its the ride to the cemetery.
All those hours you could have been fishing, drinking, chasing wild women.... gone.
I'd rather be driving.
Actually, Pattycakes' belly is pretty damn clean now, too. Every sock drawer in the house can now be easily closed.
I assume yours is pretty much back together...did you do the Tensioners? Which brings me to the Question of the day. Do you have access to a 'Belt Tensioner/adjustment Tool'?

Couldn't live w/o the flywheel lock tool or the belt tension tool (aftermarket)and the manuals. I bought a rebuilt tensioner a few months ago when I did the W/P & T/B replacement. Alas, mine will never look as Bristol as Randy's. But it will be clean. To answer your question, it will never stop as long as we own a 928! BTW, I did buy an 8 inch bench buffer, I'm going to take a stab at polishing the intake, the thermostat housing and the like. There's a couple of old rifles in the safe that I want to polish and reblue too (had to justify another power tool to the Mrs.)
