Ordered new motor and its all clean

only problem is, the engine bay around it is NASTY

so my idea is instead of being all complicated and **** is to do this:

get simple green and tire shine
go to car wash
Cover ENTIRE motor, and batter with a custom fit assmebly of trash bags and duct tape
simple green the bay
pressure spray/degreaser all that at the car wash around the bay
let dry
tire shine black hoses and all that.

will it work ? im one lazy bastard when it comes to scrubbing.

 

you should clean in there when the motor is out ( thats what i did and it came out spotless)

 

thats exactly what we did when i worked a dealership.

 

cant clean it with motor out. Too lazy i wanna just spray it lol.

 

I would just do it at your house with a hose that way you dont have to worry about spraying a potentially hot engine with cold water after driving it arround to the car wash.

 

water is useless alone
plus its in a garage and its not leaving the garage. Its not mine so its ******* thing to do at someones house and get all their **** wet.

 

Since you're lazy I suggest you install the motor first, then follow these steps:

1. Spray FOAMY GUNK ENGINE BRITE all over the engine. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.
2. Rinse the engine completely.
3. Spray entire engine with FOAMY ARMOR ALL (IMPORTANT! it has to be the FOAMY kind, or you can catch your engine compartment on fire).
4. Start the car and close the hood for 20 (with engine running).
5. Open the hood and

 

so after spray armorall no rinse ?

 

stop being so lazy, roll the damn car outside, spray the bay with simple green (proper things taped up, fuel line, etc.) let it sit, spray more, rinse it out.

 

Its going nowhere dude until this swap is done

Yup. Do a search on H-T. You'll find tons of threads on it. It works wonders!

 

just cover up the important things and pressure wash it. I know several people who have used a pressure washer on their bays WHILE the motor was in there without any problems. Just don't start it for awhile and let it dry off good. As long as the battery is disconnected you don't have to worry about electrical problems.

Edit: Flame away anti-pressure washers.

....we're gonna need a little more info to understand what you just posted there.

 

slam is an engine and overall degreaser thats why i said if you have a friend that works in a detail shop.

 

I can't believe you're not gonna clean it while the engine is out. All you need is GUNK spray cleaner or any designated engine cleaner. You can do it where it sits, no water necessary.
