Any safe way to clean an engine? (degrease, wash, etc.). I do not want wiring toget damaged or parts to rust. Thanks all!

 

I get that engine bright detailer in a can from the parts store, pray the foamyness all over and hose it off after a few minutes... then I armorall everything I can get my hands on. Looks show quality for about a month then it gets pretty dusty again and I gotta start over

 

Hose it off? It makes me crenge just thinking about spraying water under the hood with all that electrinic crap in there. Is it safe for me to do that?

 

well I wouldn't want to pressure wash the internals of your alternator or anything, I do try to avoid the electricals as much as possible. the main thing is not sprayin water on a hot engine, you want it to be cooled down so you don't crack anything

 

I just used some general cleaner wipe things and then armorall...works like a piyump!

 

i use that same engine brite stuff, i think a company named gunk makes it. it is in a white can with an orage lid, and i think the foam is a pinkinsh color. it smells like it has a kerosene base. i have used it quite a few times, and it hasnt done anything bad to my motor, just follow the directions. and for cleaning between the gunk stuff, just use armorall cleaning wipes. they work great for small messes.

 

i bet that **** burns good too

 

your not supposed to use it on your *****!

 

you can spray anything except your distributor and air cleaner pretty much. ive had no problems and i pressure washed mine.

 

Don't give him any ideas with that stuff now![sm=roll.gif] LMAO
