Smile I was surprised how clean my engine was

I'm in the process of doing the 60K service, so I had to open up the engine compartment. Its a slight PITA, but fairly easy, maybe 5 min.
What surprised me was how clean the engine was.

No, its not concourse quality, but I don't believe the engine was ever cleaned and for 60K on the clock, it is really clean. Just a little dust and light dirt. Ran my fingers over the intakes and there was barely any dirt.

Is this normal? I have looked at other engines on my other cars and don't recall seeing one this clean at 60K
