Spaz's engine wash technique...

well... we all know that it's a bitch to was our engins... i don't have near enough time to read all of the sticky thread so this may be old news...

first i start off with windex... yup... i spray it all over my engine... every where in there...

i turn my car on and let it get to running temp then i shut it off and hose it down with water...

i let it cool down for 5 mins (great chance to crack open a beer on the hot days) and then i spray down the engine with armour all...

again i turn my car on and let it get to running temp then i shut it off and hose it down with water...

then... i get a crappy beat up old t-shirt and whipe down every thing i can get to with out beat up my hands and knuckles to much...

then i get out tire shine... and spray that all over (try to keep away from the pully belts) rub that stuff in with the beat up shirt and then i turn the car on again get to running temp...

when i'm done every thing looks like new... :D

spray water all over the engine huh

My air filter for the hood ram air on top is completley exposed k&n. So for me to do that, I would have to take off the hole damn air box and bag the tube.

That would only take 5 mins. and when you're done you will have a shiny new motor.

I don't know about spraying the whole motor down when it's hot tho. Aluminum expands and contracts way more than steel. And to cool it off that fast with water i just feel that could do harm...:think:

Put a plastic bag over anything you don't want to get wet and just tape it off.

SPAZ, you don't need to clean your engine! You blow it up before it gets dirty, then you put a new one in! :lmao:..................j/k

Your engine bay does look good!
