I also need to know how to make the motor a lil more presentable...Its a shame to how bad it looks. Wanna make it look new...What should I use and how much money is involved?

 

Probally the best way would be take it and have it professionally steam cleaned. Or if you want to do yourself go to Wal mart and look for Super Clean. It's in a purple bottle made by Castrol. Spray it on and hose off. Really works. You can scrub some tough areas if you want. Read the directions and be careful around painted areas.

 

It's worth a fistfull of quarters to go to the local pay and spray to use the high pressure sprayer. especially since you don't want all that gunk on your own driveway.

 

you're crazy to use a high pressure washer on a engine...

yeah, i do it about once a year on my car. leave the car running when you do it, and cover your air filter with a plastic bag to prevent hydrolock.

 

isnt there this thing about HOT engine blocks and cold water cracking it?

 

Use foamy engine brite (get it at checker)
and a pressur washer.
