Ok I need to clean my dirty *** engine bay... bad. I have Simple Green and I would like to use a water hose whatever.... How can I wash the bay without getting water on the engine / inside of it plz help here is a pic of my engine and without hurting my MSD Blaster...

 

this has been covered before

you can turn off the motor or leave it running i prefer running and just watch out what you direct spray i have never covered anything on my motors they are all just great

 

I was always told to cover:

Air Filter
Fuse Panel
Dizzy

 

i was told...... who gives a **** its an engine lol


im just kiddin i wanna know to cause mines in need of a cleanin to

 

go to your local auto parts store and buy something called GUNK

MAKE SURE YOUR MOTOR IS COMPLETLY COLD WHEN YOU SPRAY IT ON YOUR MOTOR.

you just have to cove the oil filter, air filter, dizzy, and fuse box. all you have to do is just spray it on, let it sit and just spray it off with water and its magically clean

 

It'd also be a good idea to cover your alternator.

i've never had any problems with my altenator and its been soaked with water and gunk.

 

when ur wash ur engine bay ppl say to cover it up so it doesnt get wet buh doesnt all that **** get wet anyway when it rainds so what the point of coverin up

 

thats why you have splash guards..

 

I didn't cover up **** when I cleaned mine, I got a spray bottle of purple power, sprayed it over all the stuff I wanted to clean, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and pressure washed it. Looked brand new. Just be careful though, don't directly spray water on your dizzy or in your air filter, you should be fine, or you could cover it up if it will give you a warm and fuzzy.

 

dont spray your head if you just drove your car to the car wash or if its remotley hot. big chance of warpage.

 

thats why i said. make sure you motor is COMPLETLY cold.

 

Well I would be using Simple Green but that's besides the point ... Should I also cover up my MSD Blaster SS Coil?

 

coil could be a good idea to cover buh the rest expletive that

 

use degreaser it works good. if you have friends in a detail shop they should have some.

 

got a question i know it dosent apply to this but i see you dont have the msd box or the sci box just wondering if it works with the coil and the distributer cap because people have told me that you have to get the whole set up just wondering if they want me to spend mony or if they are telling the truth

A better idea is to not waste your money on any of that useless ignition **** at all, unless you're having problems trying to push 400+whp with the stock components.

 

"go to your local auto parts store and buy something called GUNK

Foaming engine degreasers work best on a motor that is at full operating temperature. The heat acts as a rapid catalyst with the chemical in the cleaner, making it a much more potent solvent. Pop the hood when she's hot, generously coat all the greased up goodness with the cleaner. Be sure to let it sit for about 15 minutes, longer if you want. Second or third coatings never hurt. Spray it off LIGHTLY with water, being sure not to directly douse major electrical components. I do this on a regular basis at the dealership I work at, and its fine. Like they said, don't blast the head full soak because the immediate cool-down could cause warpage. Use common sense.
