Dont know about ya'll, I detail my engine every weekend for shows. I dont cover or disconnect anythingj!! Simple green (not on chrome) and wheel brush work wonders in those hard to reach places.Watch for waterspots!! I hose the whole engine down to get out the dust and grime that builds up throughout the week. You could probably eat off it if you wanted.
Maybe it does make it lighter. Like I said in "Jenny Craig" Weighing in at either 3700 or 3900( I forgot) I need all the help I can get.
Maybe a little more Armorall will help with the Aerodynamics??????
