washing an engine.
so i picked up a can of gunk cleaner from canadian tire today and want to wash my own engine. before i do, i need to know what parts can not touch water. i dunt wanna spray it on then wipe it down and the hose it down and realize after my car wont start.
|
alt and intake filter if you got one
depending on the engine |
disconnect the battery, spray on the engine (WARM), let sit for awhile then hit it with the hose and blast it. watch out for harnesses ,alternator, intake. basically anything that can short.
after finishing washing it either blow it off with an air gun (if you have a compressor at home). or let sit for about an hour then re-connect the battery and you should be good to go. you dont really have to but thats always a precaution i have taken on other peoples cars. my own i dont bother. |

I used a car wash engine cleaner selection once at a car wash. It worked great cause it was very large spray that covered a lot of the places. Its very easy to do and gets a lot of the gunk and grime off. Just when you spray it off with water use a light pressure cause you might damage something with heavy pressure.
