NICE! I remember what my engine looked like before I cleaned it, now its real clean but looks dirty cause its ughh old...

did you use orange clean?

I used castroaul(sp?) stuff in a purple bottle, i recomend that to everyone! I cleaned j0n's heads with it and wd40 it was about 30x stronger then wd40!

you used wd-40 to clean your hands? i usually clean my hands after i get wd-40 on them :shrug:

um..alex looks like you used buncha tire shine in your engine bay :lol:

I used a mixture of GUNK & Water with a sponge and a clean rag. It got the thick stuff off and I was also using an air gun to dry the water and get it out of the cracks.

It looks good in the pictures :lol: Im still not satisfied. Who wants to help ditch the Emmisions & AC?

i use greased lightning and a steam cleaner

get some TB cleaner toooo

:rofl: HEADS! he had two heads off a salvaged motor and he needed them cleaned so i did just that, "you can eat off theese heads"

it looks good to me :cool:

as for the AC and emissions make sure you know what your doing before you start messing around

water next to an opti :willy:...ohh and u want to make it more shiny, like i said before, use tire shine. we used it everywhere when i used to work at the dealership. inside and out :rofl:

F@#$ yo opti! :lol:

**** your coil packs!

No i didnt spray ANY water onto the engine, I had a bucket of water mixed with the cleaner and dipped the sponge in that and dried the excess up right away.



Do I really have to whore to keep my own post on topic?

im afraid whats what my opti will be saying to me if i try to wash my engine bay :lol:

yes ;)


and the engine bay is for the most part water proof, except for you lt1 people's optis. i'm gonna just hose mine down and use orange cleaner for the stubborn spots.

not really. well maybe for ur ls1 bay but mine isnt, and thats the whole reason my car wasnt runing and got it so cheap, the guy who owned it got the engine bay steam cleaned (btw were can I have this done?) then a week later he just hosed the bay down and fried the ecm, at that time parked it for years and it got all rusty.... so just be care full when cleanin ur bays

Wayfast - thats why 4th gens pwn

Alex - when you wanna ditch all that? Do you have a place to get a tune from lined up?

Jake - what is there to be so cautious about... enlighten me.

what are you talking about?

that :lol:

the AC system has a certain procedure for removal. am i wrong?

procedure = take a wrench and knock off one of the valves... right Tim??? :D and Brandon???

isnt that stuff hazardous and supposed to be disposed of properly?

Um, it depends. You can have it taken out, but it really doesnt matter. If its R-12, then yes its dangerious, if its R-134a, then you are good to go.

thats why i said make sure you know what your doing. so F you kasey :lol:

it's r134a is alex's car im pretty sure... as logn as you don't sit there inhaling it from the source you're good to go (But Jeff would disagree ;))
