Re: 1986 Ford F150 Engine Detail

Glad to see you back on the forum. How is it going? I was wondering what happened to you and then this week I see that you were posting again. Welcome back Colin.

Hey John. Yeah, its been a while since I've done any posting. I've been lurking here and there. I was a State Trooper in Florida and decided to make the move to Colorado. I was at their academy for 6 months, then field training for 2.5 months so I just haven't had the time. But now I'm back and it feels great.

It looks great. I love engine details. I've always felt that the engine department is the most neglected because it's always covered so no one sees it.

Nice turn around on that one!

Re: 1986 Ford F150 Engine Detail

Simply amazing turn around. That's the type of turn around that surprises even the detailer it looks so good

Great work! Get to rebuild one of those engines for an 86 Bronco one of these days, yay, lol. Looks like new!

Thanks, guys. It was a lot of work but at the same time, fun.

Aaron, yeah the purple stuff is great but you're right; you'd better respect it, especially using it full strength! I have APC+ but knew I would be using a ton of it because of how bad the engine bay was. I didn't want to use up all the APC+ so I reached for the purple stuff.

Looks great! Brings me back a few years seeing those pics!

I can pretty much take off those distributer caps in my sleep now. When I worked at this high volume shop they never covered anything up and those caps ALWAYS got wet. (We used pressure washers) Eventually I said this ***** and we started covering them.

Holy Cow Colin!

Great job on that engine bay! That purple stuff works great but to be respected!

Made it better than new!

Good show

Nice job, the engine came out looking great.

Re: 1986 Ford F150 Engine Detail

Engine came out looking great. I agree on the older engines being easier to access. The new engines are very restricted as far as getting your hands in there.
