Might be time to step up your game to Super Clean and shop towels.

Simple green, scrub with a small brush, rinse with water, done. Much easier.

Don't really have a reason to?!?  At this point it's clean, replace, Powdercoat/plate, reassemble - and get it running!!!

I'll have that bay looking pretty without pulling the engine.

Snap knocked out some powdercoating on the quick - so had to test fit.  Can't wait to get everything back from zinc coating and start reassembling.  Still need to de-bracket the PS of the bay - and clean.
