I spent yesterday, saturday, pulling everything I didn't need off of the B16. Wire harness, plugs, manifold, etc....was getting it ready to clean a bit.
The motor was in GREAT shape! looked new on the back, but the front and bottom had some grease/grime/dirt from 11 years of use :)
I was going to clean it with a degreaser, but found that fruitless. I pulled out the laquer thinnner and went to work. great thing about thinner, is you get it where it's not supposed to be and it evaporates :) so any holes or openings in the motor didn't matter. and then you don't have to rinse it either! It evaprotes :)
Now that it's about done, and looking like brand new, it's time to start on the preventative maintenence..........

You sound like your shagging your wife over the valve cover...make sure all the stains come off before you start the thing otherwise they'll be stuck on there for good;)
