I attempted to wash up the Engine bay my first REAL attempt was kinda nervous getting things wet... but tell me what you think of the new wheels and the engine bay thaaanks!! ?

 

 

clean , get a stock ex/si lip and its perfect

 

Exterior looks awesome.. but the engine bay needs some TLC.

 

looks good, you should try some engine degreaser or brake cleaner on your engine and trans to get off alot of the dirt.

 

good start.

 

nice paint

 

ex front lip and a spoon spoiler and then itll be PERFECT...but ur paint is clean

simple green works really well and a high pressure sprayer

 

 

looks amazing from the outside and a lil work under the hood and it will be golden

 

Yeah I did use Simple Green but I was nervous getting water where the plug wires are.. I did cover my MSD Blaster Coil SS, Dizzy, Airfilter, and Fuse Box. But I was still nervous and only sprayed water lightly over the engine bay. I just need to know what to do exactly when pressure washing an engine bay because I do have a Honda Pressure Washer... Any tips? on how exctly to do it..

 

so you did pressure wash your bay? it just looks a lil faded?

if so, use armor all

and nice paint. blades

 

Very well kept

Nah I didnt use pressure washer just used the shower nozzle on my regular house house..

 

cover your battery & distributor w/plastic bags and get some engine foam cleaner. let the engine warm up for less than 5 mins then spray it on and make sure if there some grimey areas that need scrubing due that w/ a wire brush then let it sit for 1o mins or so, then hose it down w/ a garden hose or something u should be good

Ok but what about with the plug wires are? last time I did that water got into there and my car misfired forever! had to use an airhose to quick dry out the plug slots. so what can I use to over that?

 

don't forget to remove the spray paint off your calipers

 

hehe,
dude, when I wash my engine bay,
I just go crazy with the pressure washer, simple green. I spray it PLENTY

I used to bag off my dizzy and alt and air filter.
but honestly the only thing I bag off now is the distributor and I just pull the intake off and stick a rag in the throttlebody(helps me get at everything under the intake.

everything in your engine bay is designed to be water tight.
Maybe that msd stuff isn't though, cuz it's not oem.

Your plugwires sould seal just fine,
if not then they're probly bad or something..

 

nice car. now paint the bay.

 

cool
