Best engine CLEANER!
 

My trucks engine and compartment is DRITY AS BALLS and has gotten better after cleaning it with tons of diff stuff but nothin is still doing much i still got alot of baked on mud splash on almost everything and the engine still a bit oily whats the best thing to clean your MOTOR!

bump.

Norbert..? Umm, Dood search, theres actually a thread about this very same topic with like 4 or 5 pages of info...:dj:

Soak it with a good cleaner- any in particular, then steam clean it.

Scuba you are now the official- Search Man, the yota tech hero.

Simple green and other similar products will do. Dirty as "balls" huh?

I've tired 4 cans of degresser+pressure spray....didn't do very good. Tried 3 cans of WD40 on entire motor didn't do much. Tried reg soap and water...nope. Tired purple power and didn't do much either.... Its still got lots of splash mud on everything and motor grease one front and block....

He's making his own YotaTech search engine: Scuggle, or was it Scoogle... or Scubble... I can't remember.

Where or how would i get my motor steam cleaned?

Ever tried scrubbing...? :dj:

self serve car washes usually have em... i think...

yes sir everything i used i got out my trusty brush and scrubbed but no avail for the caked splash mud

Car wash huh.... didn't really think they did it at a car wash but i'll look

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...bdabom/409.jpgI use 409 Degreaser or Brake cleaner .

did you try any elbow grease i heard somewhere it works wonders on pretty much anything

the thick stuff is going to be manual removal a stiff brush, something to scrape with and a lil degreaser, on the really thick stuff degreaser doesnt do much because it only works on the top layer and wear some glasses you will not regret it

hah new sig link !! :dj:

Hows that stuff work for yours?

I've tried elbow grease-

didn't work too well.

im confused is it an actual cleaner or for direct application to the elbow

I've tried scubbing on alot of the caked mud and still does not come off....the gease does come off a lil with HARD ASSSS scubbing but thought there might be somethin that can break it down...

lol wow um ok guess not that then...

Well, I don't know how it works on mud ,but when I had to replace my front seal oil was everywhere !! even on the tail gate . It worked pretty good for me I spayed it on waited about 2 minutes .. spayed somemore .. Then I used a to wash it all down . It came off easy after that . That's all I use to clean with . I used this stuff called ,"Bar keepers friend " on the rims .

get a hand wire brush from your local ace, with the engine slightly warm spray it down and then use said whatever cleaner, let it sit for a min or 5 then scrub !! then spray down, run the truck to let dry..:dj:

cool getting lots of clean tips...lol <"corny" But yea thanks guys lemme see what i can do.

well how about the link?

old mechanics trick to use on grease and oil is oven cleaner, doesn't work on mud though. spray it on, let it set, then power wash it off, then spray everything with wd40.

hahaha... scooby thinks taht because hes been here over a year and wrecked 2 trucks hes a "vetran"... :hillbill:

my motor want "dirty as balls" but it was quite nasty and 2 cans of GUNK Engine Cleaner worked for me...

Purple Power and a pressure washer.

Purple Power: (you can get it at your local auto parts) It is made by clean-rite

when i clean my engine bay i just run down to the local powersports shop (atv, dirtbike, motorcycle dealer) and pick up some of the suzuki motorcycle cleaner.. im sure there are other brands and its probably just something re-bottled with suzuki's name on it but it works awesome.. doesnt pit aluminum like simple green or castrol superclean.. and wont attack vinly coated wireing or rubber like some other cleaners can...but for really nasty grease and goop i go with the castrol superclean.. spray it on, scrub a bit with a stiff brush.. spay some more on, let it sit a bit, then spray a bit more on and hit it with the hose.

Gasoline and a match .:jk:

R&R engine. Done... :hillbill:

cake the motor in taco bell ground beef it makes an excellent non caustic degreaser. you can use the taco shells to patch any rust holes, or it will give your engine diarrhea.

Boooiiiiiii:dj:

Here are a couple before and after pictures . I still need to clean alittle more . Like I said , I use 409

Before ..http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...Picture018.jpg






After ..

i tried 2 cans of that gunk stuff the foam and the gel kind and it didnt do crap

Purple power and a pressure washer as I posted above. Cleans it like new. :D

:guitar:

Hondabrite works really well to get grease and oil off, probably wouldn't do much for the mud and it is expensive.

Pressure washer gets mud off like butta.

:guitar:

I gotta see a pic of just how dirty "as balls" it-THE ENGINE, not the balls
@bipolar and proud: 409 did that? Nice! I gotta give it a try.
