4683, A real simple, but urgent question! Posted by solar1, Jul-06-01 12:33 AM
Hi All, I want to clean my engine this afternoon so i can inspect for leaks and things before my car gets operated on. Can you guys recommend a good, but EASY engine cleaner? Also, is there anything i have to look out for like things to cover before i use and also what my car might act like once i do it? I've heard that some of your cars drive rough for a while.

watch your spark plugs wires and try not to get any water in the holes or you will get mad arcing action. i really don't know about cleaner. oh...and watch for anything electrical like fuses and $h!t.

i feel so slutty......my engine is showing! you show a lil engine and everyone wants to stare at your slits! :P when you wash it, wiped down the plugs and in the spark plug holes as far as you can then use a hair dryer to dry them and the wires off. as far as cleaning the engine i would just use the engine cleaning stuff at the carwash and touch-up with windex and a rag(spraying the windex on the rag).
