I have a stain on the silver finish on my engine near the transmission that occured when the new Baker 6-Speed was installed.

Looks like oil - anyone suggest how to remove it without daming the finish?  Kinda looks like a dirty smudge...

I know this is nit picking - but heck - if I can get it cleaned then I will!

Try brake cleaner and a soft brush. I removed some stain that way in the past.

As Jim suggested Brake-Kleen (Brake Cleaner) will take care of the stain. Is this what you are seeing...

I use Brake Kleen sprayed on a detailing swab (Oversized/Long Q-Tip) to clean the above stain and this is what it looks like after...

You can use a regular one; just make sure the motor isn't hot.

Someone suggested a cover from Kuryakyn on the site so I got one last week.  It covers the area in chrome and looks great (IMHO).  Part 8274.

No more cleaning either  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
