Greg's shop is very careful about their runoff, there's some enormous fine associated with runoff making it to the street (which is about 100 feet in the background.). The hose only comes out for engine blocks, usually when they rinse any other part, its usually out of one of those handheld pump sprayers. Thanks PRK!

Spent several years dealing with the CA Water Resources Control Board and helped draft some regulations for DoD base compliance.

I'm assuming that the white pad below the engine is there to capture sediment as well as any grease/oil and allows water to run thru keeping the regulators happy....pretty cool idea for an engine stand.

It's just a bit of detergent, I'd already spent multiple hours cleaning that block, but it still needed Greg's blessing it with the magic toilet scepter.

It's funny- I have 5 of the first 6 tools in my arsenal, just bought the 'Otto' bar easy-stick yesterday on his recommendation. The following tool I have found indispensable- it has a magnet on the end so sticks to anything steel, the COBB LED unbelievably bright - this is a tool I use every day...

I'm completely stunned when I run into a Shark owner who doesn't use this.

^^^ Yes! The 928 Facebook page, meanwhile, has a good purpose but I don't regard it as a serious tool like Rennlist.
