the dirt came from before I parked it... a rainy day and a mass puddle that looked innocent... ended up being kinda scary ! tried cleaning it with engine cleaner, water/soap, car wash engine cleaner high pressure... nothing takes it off.... probably going to take a shammy to the fender walls and toothbrush to the engine

other than that, it's in amazing condition considering its 10 years old
 
I was rockin' teh JB weld on my intake manifold too. Used it to keep the water temp sensor in ... then it finally cracked and it had to go ........

Some advise ... while you are waiting for parts here's some stuff to do:

Check or just replace your plugs since it's easy to do with the manifold off.

Take each injector out and make sure it's clean (about 4 of mine had debris partially blocking the port)

When you put everything back together, clean the threads on every bolt with a brush and use neverseez on all the bolts. That way, you know everything is done right and will not be difficult to remove if you ever choose to again. :nice:
