    Did a search, no luck.
    1988 TR what are you using to wash the engine? Used Dawn in the old days becasuse of the Aluminum. I was going to mix up some stuff, BUT if the wheel has already been invented will use that.
    Car is a show car that was driven to the track event in Ga.
    Some DUMMY (me) overfilled the dry sump and the results are easy to see.
    I would like to thank Tom Jones for his help to remove the EXTRA oil. Tom looked different than I would have expected after hearing him sing before.
    Take Care

    Use the delicates cycle and lay flat to air dry. Do not iron. :)

    A crusty old Ferrari Meachanic told me to use mineral spirits. Worked good on my 308.

    TR engines as well as all other Ferrari engines to my knowledge are painted aluminum. That being the case any good car wash soap will work fine. Do not use any cleaner that you would not want to use on the car's body itself.
