Biohazard

Got another bottle of the biodegradeable degreaser (Perfect Solution) and, today, I got into the engine compartment to do a little cleaning.

>Washed the 3 firewalls with a scrubby and that Sani-Scrub. It was nice to be able to get at areas of the engine comparment I was previously unable to reach.

>Sprayed some degreaser on and scrubbed the steering box but didn't finish.

>Degreased and scrubbed suspension components such as the K frame, torsion bars, steering linkage, and the front sway bar. Didn't finish here, either..just a preliminary scrub.

>Sprayed a good amount of the degreaser atop the tranny and around the shift linkage points. Did a lot of scrubbing here to get the crud off the trans housing. Got most of it down to aluminum but there's still no shortage of brown gooey boogers melted all over the casing.

>I got the underside of the tunnel pretty clean going back to the pinch. I think cleaning much farther back is going to require removing the trans brace and allowing it to drop so I can get back there better.

>Scrubbed what I would call the 'inside' of the car's chin. Plenty of gunk had collected here but this panel cleaned up alot easier than areas further aft.

Generally, its now alot easier for me to maneuver around inside the engine bay without having every part of me smeared in paleolithic petroleum products AND the car's odor output seems to have gone down...at least it seemed so this evening.

No pics for this post. I'll snap some tomorrow or maybe just when I get the transmission to where its satisfactory.
