Consider it to be rust proofing and leave it alone? Randy

Completed it over the course of about 3 weekends. Spent 2-3 hours taking it apart bagging up the hundreds of bolts in separate bags per section of the job. Spend the whole next day, followed by the next weekend cleaning up the top of the engine, in the valley, cleaning out the valve ports, and the manifolds. This past weekend I probably spend 5 hours reassembling on Saturday and another 4 hours Sunday. Car is back together and appears leak free as far as I can tell so far. I appear to have a bad back pressure sensor and I apparently didn’t get the intake air temp sensor clicked back in as it blew out and broke it on the test drive. Put in a parts order to start the same job on the GL next week. Currently I have the car up in the lift checking for leaks and the underside is horribly grimy from all the oil. With it on the lift I’m thinking about putting down drip trays, soaking it with engine degreaser, followed by blasting it off with steam cleaner, then maybe red brake cleaner followed by more steam. Anybody have any better ideas? Btw the HF steam cleaner is on sale for $89 currently.
