when you say "clean the engine" iam gueesing you mean the area around the front pulley and the under tray, if so i use some HD TFR applied with a pressure bottle around the area left to soak in then blast with the pressure washer on hot,then a big dose of WD allover and start her up, never had a problem yet.

Hi,
Yes those are the main areas where the oil settled when the plug chambers overflowed - prior to me getting the car. I found someone locally who will remove the tray and clean from the underneath. I think the lower manifolds are covered - hence the smell when hot. I would like to be doing more myself but due to my recent op. and having only on-road parking a lot of the things I need to do are beyond me just now :-(
The guy doing it works in a scrap car yard near Slough - hope the crane driver doesn't get any ideas lol!
