Does anyone have any techniques and/or advice on how to thoroughly clean rusted/corroded engine parts (like that chalky white isht on aluminum parts)? Is this something I can do myself or do I need to take it to a shop or something? I bought the car used, and the previous owner obviously did not care about keeping a clean engine bay. How can I make it look icy under the hood again?

slow gsx? is that a joke? hehe

kory are u gonna reply that everytime the guy posts a question?



-I would use that "engine gunk-be-gone" spray can shit u can buy almost anywhere. One works like them all, so it doesnt really matter if u ask me. Go to a car wash with the pressure washers, and spray that gunk shit all over the engine, etc tranny but keep the water and spray shit off ur ECU and throttle body, and spark plug areas. If u need to clean those areas, just use a rag and that spray stuff on the rag. When finished, cover up ur ECU and TB, and Spark plug areas with rags or something and hose that engine bay down with the pressure washer after 10 minutes of letting that spray stuff settle in.

BE CAREFUL THOUGH! I know alot of people are gonna reply after me and say dont do it that way, but it's been the most effective way for me. The first time I did it, I did not cover up the above-mentioned areas and I was sputtering for a day or so afterwards... watch that ECU and Spark plugs!!!

good luck.

Go to the automotive section at Target and buy CD-2 ENGINE DETAILER. It has two cans, one to clean and one to shine. Trust me, it works WONDERS!

i dont get ur comment mike?

kory i think he is saying about the front wheel drive is for girls.....

do what mike said then after it is dry spray it with tire wet. that makes it shine for a long time.

no i meant about the "slow" gsx thing. Im the one who gave kory the "FWD is for girls" logo


ironic, eh? :)

I have seen kory post that like 3 or 4 times now i think about slow gsx thing, haha.

Hmmmm i think imma try that tire shine shit next time i clean my engine...nice idea. *high 5

yea.. tire wet makes things nice and shinny.. i have used the cd2 and the gunk.. i dont really like them both but i use them..

simple green works too... ive been using the gunk lately.. but when its warm i clean the engine up about once or twice a week.. well i used to have lots of free time last year haha.. not sure about not.. i have neglected it lately.. and its dirty ohh poo.. i need 2 cars so i can take it apart adn clean it ahah

but anyways.. FWD is for real men..hahalook below

ya i got that CD-1 thing to with the 2 cans... i got fucken water in my spark plug holes! that pissed me off.... i flipped a shit anyway be carefule to cover dat shit up when you clean it

isnt it a little hard to cover all that stuff and not get any water in there?
