Nice neat n tidy and Greatly reduced the risk of a fire

So now I've got fresh paint in the engine bay it's time to start cleaning up the engine etc.

First thing I'm gonna start off with the oil bath air filter. Empty the oil get some cleaner on it n get some of this muck off.
Thinking I'll respray the lid as its looking tired

Gonna soak the filter in petrol over night , helps get the old oil and muck out

Made a start on the engine today
Didn't spend long but got through two tins of gunk
This is gonna take several attempts

Sat morning , kids r climbing the walls so sent um out in the garden for a play.
There only young so went out to keep an eye on them.

Got a few jobs done whilst I kept me eye on them



First to tackle this

So the filter has had a good soak in petrol

Washed it all down with gunk then soapy water and wait to dry.
Later rubbed it down with wire wool and gave it a spray with gloss black.

Paint dry ready for new oil

Bit neater now
Muck washed off , bit of new paint , and oil change , ready for fitting

That looks better

Just a little time left so thought I'd also get my engine bay rubbers back in.

Clean them with hot soapy water, look good as new !

Rinse then let them sit in clean hot water to soften



Bit of wd40 in the channels and they slip in lovely
