Engine Question

Tiller88 · February 9th, 2008, 01:49 PM

Hey ok my engine kind of looks dirt so i want to clean her up some I love clean rides, ok so I got some simple green to use on the engine/engine bay area is that ok (i use simple green for everything)

Or is there something else I should use

i used engine degreaser and a self serve car wash to clean mine....

Tiller88 · February 9th, 2008, 01:52 PM

I was kind of worried about doing the car wash thing couldnt that much water hurt it or something?

You can hose it off when the engine is hot and then let it dry before firing it up again. Just don't overdo it on the electrical stuff.

yeah see I would end up messing that up so I'll just do her by hand =P and some simple green maybe some engine degreaser if shes to dirty

parts store or wallmart for heatshrink tubes, small repairs can be made with electrical tape to though, yes heatshrink cuts back off as easy as stripping a wire.
