Default new engine pics

Here is a current pic of my engine. It is not a show car. It is pretty much painted to give it a clean feel. I might change the color of it later to black or just put a few coats of clear on. I think I have a leaky head too because there is alot of oil by the engine code (most of which is dry). I am also in the process of changing all the wire conduit from black to blue(one behind the battery). Some might say this is ricey but I like a little mix of color. I think it is ricey if it is overdone.

One suggestion that would make it look better is, if you gave the engine bay a wash.

a mix of color is in the definition of ricey, and different shades of blue on a car that doesn't even match in color will not suit it that well.

I think the blue looks alright now, but the dirty engine bay kinda defeats the nice blue paint. Give it a good degreaser and spray and it'll look 10X better. There's a DIY for engine bay cleaning in the DIY section.

Also with this, once you get the oil on it cleaned off, you can see if it comes back to see if you do have an oil leak, and it'll help you determine exactly where it's leaking.
