"Clean look" engine bays

Tried google?

Dry fuels can harm your engine!

If you use unleaded gas, ethanol, propane, CNG, or Low Sulfur Diesel, your engine needs the original Ampco top cylinder lubricator!
The Ampco top cylinder lubricator provides critical valve to seat lubrication, which is now absent from gasoline, and prevents sticking valves and detonation caused by carbon and combustion deposits.

Compressed gas fuels contain NO LUBRICATING PROPERTIES! They burn clean and may be “environmentally friendly”, but burn hot, are corrosive, and can cause very premature valve failure. The only way to introduce lubricity to a compressed gas fuel system is with the Ampco top cylinder lubricator. Sulfur functioned as a valve seat lubricant in diesel fuel. Low and ultra-low sulfur fuels can cause valve recession problems in older diesel engines.

I'm sorry, but it just doesn't look natural. All these engine bays should be plastered with oil & dust residue !
Or maybe it's just jealousy?

The pics of mine where taken at Das Drag Day in Germany, not only did i drive out there i was then racing my van too, hitting around 8000rpm, There is no need for a VW engine bay to be dirty and covered in crap, you just have to make sure everything is built properly and also the case is vented properly sop it doesn't want to spew oil at high revs.

here's mine as it was looking a it sad for itself,

so after a strip down of the 1641 that I had stored in the shed a bit of paint and polishing it looked like this

and all installed and started up first turn of the key 8) a little bit of wire tidying to do but all in all I'm happy
