I was wondering if anyone here has cleaned there engine. My engine is kinda dirty and I want to make it shine, I have been seeing on youtube and reading on website that you can powerwash and use cleaners. I also read that you should cover the alternator, the distributer, and anything else electrical. Has anyone ever attempt this before or have any other ideas on cleaning the engine?

 

Go to local auto store they should sell engine cleaner spray spray it on a cold engine let it sit then power wash it off it should work I used it before on other cars I have it melts the dirty away lol I'm going to do my engine bay on my camaro this week you don't need to cover it up just don't hit electricals straight on with spray

 

Should I cover any parts so they don't fer wet and cause a peobelm? Is there any products you recommend?

 

No I didn't cover any parts I just spray around parts I didn't want to get that wet

i actually cleaned mine and had lovely results, i will post pics of before and after.

i used engine degreaser Gunk Max level and scrubbed scrubbed scrubby scrubb scrubbed.

i cleaned mainly the housing and the all around and under the fuel rail.

it went from litterally black to original aluminum color, let me show you.

After, Sorry. took the picture just now so its not the pic of the whole thing but, the whole middle part is what i cleaned up.

 

That stuff works I was surprised I'm do mines this week I can't wait lol

lol never man, ima turbo my v6, i want the gas and speed. not just speed get me man? like my friend fasteddis car, have you seen it?

 

No not yet lol it just depends how you drive mainly and I love the sound of a v8

What about a turbo v8 lol jk

 

Haven't seen you have a link I love sound of v8 and it also depends on how you drive if I'm just using pedal light I get decent mpg

Wat about a turbo v8 lol Jk

 

lol in that case, ill just drop a ls1 in it lol,

oh and also, while your cleaning the engine bro, make sure you cover all wires and places where the degreaser can get into ( i had to plug up my fuel injector entries with papertowels) and from the exausts and what not because believe me, i put some of this stuff on bottom to clean my tranny and surrounding and it was smoking like crazy from getting on the exaust. let me show you how the tranny cleaning came out

 

You have to rinse really good and not do it on hot engine I made that mistake

Ok

 

ok so here are the pics of my tranny cleaned up using that degreaser:



it was so bad that i couldnt see the orange sticker, didnt even know it existed till i cleaned it up

 

That's not bad it works pretty good you had to jack up your car huh my car is really low I need to use a lift or sum thing

 

oh yea bro, its actually cleaneer then the pic because i also cleaned all metals around it so it can look fresh.

 

Just be careful of getting the degreaser on the paint in the engine compartment and under the car (if you're going to clean the trans as well)... It's not good for the paint.
