note: not a new motor.

 

that's clean!!!!!

i might do this sometimes soon! how long did this take?

 

awww man i did that too, it don't do wonders on overspray though... for me...

but to you

 

yea, I use that stuff from time to time, its good stuff and can't beat the price

 

No scrubing done here....



first off.

Its better if the motor is warm( you can still touch with hand). Dont do it when it is hot.

1. cover distributor with paper towels, then wrap it with a plastic bag. cover
battery, fuse box and alternator with cloth or lots of paper towels.
2. spray "gunk remover" all over engine bay and let it sit for a good 20-30 minutes.
3. rinse with water. make sure its only light sprinkles. No high pressure...
4. No wiping required, just let it air dry. I recomended not to turn on the car 3 hours after rinse.

5. while waiting for it to dry. why not detail the inside of the car.

good luck peeps

 

FYI. . .the "foamy" version of engine brite works 10x better. Same price, different color cap I believe.

 

i used simple green.
i think i'll try this way next time

Niceandclean!

 

good **** but it stinks

 

damn that **** is clean, nice traction bars by the way

 

carb/choke spray and brake cleaner work great for the motor only.


other wise i used simple green never tried this befor

 

It does smell, I 'accidentally' used it inside the house.

I usually turn my car back on after rinsing. The heat will evaporate the water, but whatever works.

 

SIMPLE GREEN for everything else.
I'm gonan go try that **** tomorrow tho.

 

The "Foamy engine brite" works even better than just the degreaser.

Rich

 

after i cleaned my motor i covered up the distributor, the header, valve cover and other parts. i then painted my block, head (not valve cover), tranny, distributor (not the distributor cap) with high heat aluminum paint. my motor came out looking very clean. i will try to post some pics up when i can.

 

cd2 engine detailer is simply the best. 2 step detailing with no wiping and my motor came out looking like this....

 

becareful, i've seen bad stuff happen after use of that, wait a few months and hoses start to detriorate and other odd stuff.

 

any pics during the process?

just to see how you guys covered everything and srayed it and what not...

 

Mr Clean Auto Dry !!!!

 

ive herd it dries out hoeses but ive used the stuff for years and my engine bay is just fine , no cracked hoses.

 

Cleaning engines is great but after u drive around its just going to get dirty again. I cleaned mine and it looked like the ones above, then it rained the next day, and it was dirty again.

 

nice! ima try it
