No! Don't install it! Doing so will tempt you to drive it which will lead to spontaneous engine failure!

Step #4: Start the car up after refitting the engine to see if it works, then stop it immediately and change the oil again.

Step#5: Remove the transmission and clean that.

Wow you guys are way too serious about engine bay cleaning. What, a $1000 to drop the engine for a freaking detail??!!

If you leave it dirty, you're less apt to find/see leaks. I had a cam cover that leaked for years and just finally fixed it. The dirt and grime actually helped seal things up

Are you sure we don't have to replace the ignition switch ??






All seriousness aside, I just cover the intake tube and spray it down with Gunk and a garden hose.

Douse it with five gallons of gas and toss in a burning road flare.

Meh, there is a difference between gaskets getting old and weeping vs leaking.

Personally this isn't a sexy engine to look at in the car, so I don't bother cleaning it and don't give it a second thought. Doesn't make it go faster.
