Hood Latch Bolts
There's nothing that doesn't look better with titanium bolts. Including the hood latch.

Hey Zoster,
Did you have problems getting your blue silicone hose on the radiator?? I have a set from Z1 Motorsports and I just could not get it on!! It seemed to be so much smaller in diameter than the black one. I tried everything but just could not get it to go on. Also I couldn't get the hose off of the top connection (by the radiator cap). The hose was like stuck on tight, I couldn't pull it off no how.
I'm trying to find a way to get the hose on. Any tips, or know how's or tricks where I can get the hose on to the connectors?? I would appreciate it.

Guys I want to dress up the engine bay a bit and want to start by replacing the radiator cap and oil fill cap. Thing is I am finding a lot of Cap that raise the pressure of the cooling system. Any long term issue's with these? Hate to blow a hose or something sitting in traffic on a 100 degree day due to a "pretty" cap.

I see these nice clean engine bays here but my engine looks horrible...
what is this?? Its whitish and doesn't go away.
Does this happen to anyone's engine? I tried spraying degreaser and wiping it but that's the result...

NAM, try some Simple Green and WD-40 with a small brass bristle brush. I've used it on all my aluminum parts in the engine compartment to keep that kind of corrosion from appearing.
Did a little cleaning today......
