I just bought some "Simple Green" so that I can try to clean up my engine a lil bit.. I was just gonna use a toothbrush with it but I also have a little wire brush. Will the wire brush scratch things up? I apologize if this is a stupid subject but was on here and thought I would ask.

 

Make sure you have a fine bristil wire brush and use is only on the tranny and engine block as needed.

 

what about that foamy engine bright ****....does it work?

 

This is how they do it in the "AUTOLAND"

 

hahaha ...looks like he's peeing on it!!

....that'll get it clean!

 

I have noticed that if you use any kind of engine degreaser...if sprayed on anything polished it "stains" it...makes it look really bad...so I suggest covering any polished pieces you have or they might get ruined.

 

I've been using simple green to clean my engine for a year now and it had never stained a thing in my engine bay.

 

my engine block is now like oxidized because i used the valvoline **** - anyone got a clue how to get the oxidiation out??

thanks

 

wd-40

 

WD-40...that could take a long time!

 

Rinse the engine down with water, soak everything with simple green, let sit for a little bit, start cleaning, rinse off with water, make sure you got everything, dry what you can with a towel or whatever you use, start engine and take it for a spin around the block, let sit untill engine is dry and cool, spray the block and tranny with wd-40 to avoid corrosion you can also use armoral.

 

brake cleaner

 

don't forget to cover up your distributor and intake so you don't ingest anything!

 

Ive never coverd my distributor when cleaning my engine bay. Throw a towl over the battery, stuff a sock in your throttle body and have at it.

 

make sure to go easy when spaying around the electrical. Dont want to knock anything loose

 

I don't use water pressure, i let the water run free out of the hose.

 

really? sure its safe to just hose your engine down? do you need to cover anything?

 

It felt weird at first, but you dont hurt anything..

 

Before Simple green...


After Simple Green and some motor gankin


Just be sure to not scrub too hard

 

Pretty good before and after pics. I wish I did that when I did my swap.

 

oh yeah... sweaky clean

 

Simply Green dissolved your engine away?!?
Strong stuff

 

simple green is the 'all-in-one-clean-it-all' solution.

 

dont get any water in the dist, alt, starter...or your done...happy cleaning
