Well you spoke and I listened. After looking at the engine it was pretty nasty, so I spent 4 hours today cleaning that bad boy and man did it suck.

If anybody has any ideas on how to clean the aluminum parts please help me out, I spent an hour scrubbing the aluminum and it still looks like crap.

Mcguires metal polish. Put it on a microfiber cloth and rub the a/c lines till they shine.

Might try a little Simple Green before the polish. 0000 steel wool is good, too, especially with cold water as a lube.
