Some questions on my Mustang. The engine has never been detailed, and while it's not horrible, it doesn't meet my needs as OCD freak. I just used Gunk engine degreaser and shine on my wife's engine with no issues. Covered alternator, battery and electrical connections. Used a garden house shower rinse (not a pressure washer) and shined it up after I let it dry. Looks pretty damn amazing if I do say so myself.


So now, I want to do this to my Mustang. I do have some questions, however.



Please speak slow and clearly. I am not a car guy and do not know all the parts I am looking at under the hood.



I am noticing some building up grime/oil underneath what I think are my "coil packs." I have circled the area in yellow and then did a close up. It's under the plastic cover on the engine on the aluminum part. Only two of the ports looks grimey and the rest are fairly clean. The car has been used as a daily driver, sits outside 10 hours a day in the sun and dust of Arizona for the past 1.5 years. Car currently has 25k miles. Might be just paranoid and this is normal buildup, but thought I'd check with you guys first. Think I have any issues?

The dirty port below the coil pack.
