Well i got antiseize all over my valve cover. What is the best cleaner that would get it off?

 

simple green and a brush works for me.

 

 

shizzle

 

thanks.

 

Simple Green owns you Dan.

 

Finally got my hondata intake gasket in Chris. The TB stays cool as hell. Yes, guys i like feeling up on my TB now.

 

Did you install it yourself?? How was it? Looks like a b*tch to install.

Chris - who would like one of them there gaskets.

 

Yea, I did it myself. I should of brought the car over to Albert's(mugen76). The bottom nuts are freaking hard to reach. The C-Speed how to's threw me off. There was so little space. I was going to quit when i thought i losted a washer. But some how I found the little f@#$er and completed the install.

 

if you really want hat red to shine on your valve cover use vaseline. i swear it works wonders. put a light coat over the valve cover after it is all clean using simple green and a toothbrush and let it sit over night. then wipe off the excess really good and then put it back on. it really works. I am getting ready to re-do my valve cover using it soon

 

Well... I tried simple green the other day and it seems a bit rough on the paint. My towel comes up red! It also leaves the valve cover looking dry and white.

I used armor all and it worked fine removing oil stains off my valve cover.

 

hmm, i've never had that happen. did you dilute the simple green at all?

 

J00 gotta dilute the simple green.

 

2 to 1 with water?

 

I thought it said on the bottle. I definitely wouldn't use straight simple green on the valve cover, green is strong schtuff!!

 

Simple Green

 

simple green will work fine with water....make sure u don't rub hard or you'll take of the paint.

 

To the guys that use simple green, do you wash out your engine bay using a hose after you're through?

I remember hearing that simple green came in a wipe form for those of us that are nervous about spraying water in our engine bay.

 

doh! hehe.. No, I didn't dilute it. It started taking off the paint, but didn't remove the oil that well....

 

good stuff to know for the future of course

i always just lay a towlel doubled over on my red valve cover to lay my tools on and to rest my greazy *** hands on when i have to suport my self to work on the back of the motor from the top of the car

 

Armor all worked for me

 

armor all................

 

I gotta try that,since mine is kinda dirty right now

 

for touching up scratches, Tamiya flat red matches really well.

 

when people see my engine, all they say is when are you going to wash it.
