I have some crap on my engine, its like corrosion. I was wondering if any of you guys know how to get rid of it. Here is a pic(crappy pic and not of my car) but you can kinda see what I'm talking about.



Thanks for the help

 

call me crazy but that looks like a nice pic to me ha

 

iono but looks like u need a wire tuck as well to go with that cleaning

 

Yeah thats a pretty clean engine, lol.

 

I'm talking about the actual engine block. This is not my car, just one I saw with the same prob. This car nor my car are show cars by any means, so the wire tuck is prob not gonna happen. Somebody has to know what I'm talking about.

He just asked about cleaning the engine bay nothing about a wire tuck. Jeez tool

 

I can't see much on the block, but you could respray your valve cover and wetsand, refinnish your header


You have nothing to worry about though, i've never heard of blocks falling falling apart from corosion. And if it's not for looking then why does the thread title say "Cleaning Engine tips"

 

because I'm interested in seeing if there is a product/tip that will get this **** off.

If your are reading this thread and cant answer the question then dont post some stupid response. I'm looking for an ANSWER, if no one can respond with one then let this thread die.

I've heard about some stuff called gunk and simple green that are suppose to do the trick but I've never tried them.

 

Purple Power bitch and some elbow grease. You can come over and practice on my ****.

Love,
Nick

 

I think purple power is what did this

 

simple green
hard brush
water hose
crap load of time

 

its actualy rust that your talking about ............ living here in ohio are motors get that you can try simple green........ gunk...... and what ever other generic **** you want to try but i can tell you this its still going to be there .............

ive actually found something that works and i mean works !!!!!!!! the only thing i can tell you is that the guy that sells it is at a flean market in jacksonville florida ........ its actualy some home made wheel cleaner with alot of acid in it and it will get the engine looking like new best stuff i have ever bought he will ship it as whell only thing is i cant find the number but if you know anyone that lives in florida maybe they can get the hook up on it for you ......... i dont know how many flea markets are in jacksonville but i do know if your comming into florida fron 95 south you will see signs for the flea market good luck ive tried tons and tons of chemicals but this is the only **** i ever found that works

Thats the word I was looking for.

I'll buy some WD40 on the way home and see if it works. Thanks!

 

HERES a good tip,
don't go crazy with the degreaser on your painted surface in ur engine bay, it will strip the gloss off them!

Or if you do use degreaser, make sure to rinse it off asap!
