Spring cleaning~ ^.^ lol~

Business was slow lately~ and it's scorching hot out there~ then i took out my engine and see what i can fiddle with~ and then i kinda feel like it's a bit dirty in the eyes~ 

So i call my worker who was too occupied with doing nothing to start cleaning it up~ with some special carbon-bonding chemical.
Halfway into the cleaning~ using the chemical and a tooth brush~ "^_^"~ it start to shine again~
cleaning the head cover~ 
i even polish the valve cap to it's original shine-in-perfection~ i just love shinny parts lol~
The complete cleaning version of my mango's new engine-head-to-be. Will be starting to port-polish it later this weekend. 

Out the 4-2-1~ In the 4-1~ ^.^ For more mid end torque?

After driving mango around for a while, i discover that mango's 4age-20v wasn't revving nicely durnig 3k~5k. Than McGuyver said it might be the 4-2-1 mango currently using is not breathing well. since the cam had higher lift and more air going into the engine. So something had to be done to the exhaust ^_^. A trip to chean exhaust is indeed.

So i retrieve the custom made 4age-20V 4-1 header for FR setting with ceramic coating! 
and took out the old 4-2-1 sr20-mod-ed with 4age-20v FF-header.
everything took out fairy easy with lot's of hand space in mango's engine chamber ^.^ 
but my O2 sensor wasn't happy to go into the header... for it's from sr20.... some cutting is in order. (sorry, no photo for the cutting part :P
the curve fit in nicely ^.^ big hurry for the japs.

bending the 2.5" soft-pipe to fit into the 2.2" pipe i'm using from front to rear. 
Everything fits in and working nicely~ and mango-sings~!
