How do you clean out the engine bay??? do you just hose it down with water and soap or something? Thanks.

Mark

 

I spray down a cool engine with a good biodegradable degreaser



let it sit



use a sponge or some other cleaning implement on the bad spots

and on the painted spots



pressure wash it with 1100-1400 psi pressure washer



start up the car and let it dry, if you have a air compressor use it

to blow puddles of water off as well.



use a silicone spray like WD-40 on the engine after its dry and cooled

down a bit to protect the metals and the rubber hoses and vac. lines

and make everything spiffy looking.

 

so it doesn't matter that anything gets wet?



Thanks again Rob

 

I have cleaned 100's if not a thousand engines using this method, unless

you are driving a old caddy or a 5.0 ford you should be ok, lol



the 5.0 ford tends to puddle up around the distributor and

makes the distributor cap wet, so if your distributor capped

equipped car runs rough after washing it, dry out the inside

of the cap. This happened like 1 in 50 or so.



anyway, your good to go.



I forgot to add you should spray the engine down with some

good silicone after its good and dry, to protect all the metal

and rubber and make everything nice and shinny.

 

yeah robs way works great, thats what we have done for years. it helps to use hot water like a steam cleaner or hook up the the hot water heater
