Oxidisation on engine

[terry.m]

Heya,

My Skyline has just been shipped over from Japan. There is a hell of a lot of oxidisation on the engine and undernieth the car..I would assume from salt while been stored near the wharf.

Can anyone tell me how to remove it...steam cleaning?

Did anyone have the same problem when they got their Skyline imported?

The rest of the car is pretty schmick so I want the engine to follow suit

yeah i have the exact same oxidation on the engine. rest of the car is immaculate so it was disappointing to see it there. i think its probably from a lifetime either in the snow (they use salt to melt it) or by the coast.

i'd like to know if there's a way to get rid of this as well, but i doubt there is without a lot of elbow grease.

i had the same on mine too, just got some autosol from repco and gave it a bit of a polish it came up ok but its just hard to get in tight places. i used a dremel with a little polisher on the end and had to do a bit by hand.
