Jim B <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>, you said... >A: Gwen, if you want to remove any oil stains from the underhood area, use >Castrol Super Clean (don't breathe the fumes!) and rinse with water >afterwards.

(be careful how long you leave it on or it may wash out the >color) I first used it to remove tobacco stains from the vinyl ceiling of my >Eagle wagon, then I cleaned a 30 year old mobile home (It looked like it was >dark oak with brown appliances due to the whole handicapped family being >smokers and unable/unwilling to clean well.

I ended up inhaling too much of the cleaner fumes >(due to poor ventillation) and felt like I had pneumonia for a couple weeks >afterwards. Oh, by all means -- I swear by that stuff! In fact, I need to pick up another bottle, as I've just about tapped the last one doing the engine. For point of comparison, here's a shot of the engine around 4 years ago, courtesy of archive.org. Long URL, sorry. http://web.archive.org/web/20010826070857/gwensmith.com/interests/rambler/i mages/64_classic_engine.jpg The lightning really isn't that much different from the shot I posted yesterday. It's just a lot cleaner. Now if I had a shot from just a bit previous to this, then you'd really start to see a change -- that was when even the cylinder head was black with grease and mung.
