What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

my b18 has severe black ---- all over it. Engine degreaser just doesn't cut it. What method do you guys use?

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

after some degreaser, i usually bust out a bush and clean the oil and dirt off the best i can. have you tried some brake clean?

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

that's a good idea.. havent tried it.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

nothing... i just bolted my motor in with 90% of the dirt still on it...

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

i respect that, its just gonna get dirty again. but when you put so much money into it, you wanna make look like its worth that money.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

werd, but i'm not putting much into my b18. just running it bone stock in my crx. if and/or when it blows i'll get a d series and boost the ---- out of it. Not sure I want to boost the b series, once i get it in the car, and running.. i'll probably want the boost though.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

yeah, thats what they all say ::)... but a b18 will be nice for normal everyday driving

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

simple green, nigga!!!

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

I used 4 bottles of Carb cleaner on a whole engine that was covered in oil.. Works awesome!

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

I usually go to the locar car wash ($3.00 for 7 munites). I spray that green engine cleaner on to the engine bay for 3 minutes, let it sit for 2 and wash it for 2 usually removes 90% of all the grease and dirt.

---- if im sticking a pressure washer under my hood

I personally go with motomaster engine degreaser and a wire brush

I spray mine down probably twice a year and just never let it build up

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

wire brush wins everytime, who cares tho it adds to the sleeper factor to have a dirty motor that looks like its been in there since it came out of the factory.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

brake cleaner is everymans friend an works on everything

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

I'd say just worry about getting the thing running.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

Brake clean works pretty good. Usually takes around 5 cans to do a good job. You get a free buzz with every can so it makes it worth it in the end. :S

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

no point in cleaning the engine bay

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

last time I used spray on dutch cleaner and it worked awsome and cost 3 dollers

then powerwash

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

Grill cleaner does a pretty badass job at removing grease and carbon. Spray it on, let sit for a couple minutes, brush and wash off with hot water. Leaves your parts nice and shiny.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

i use oven cleaner. spray it on and let it sit for 10min, then rinse with a hose

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

high temp pressure washer 8)

I pretty much just do the same thing as TurboHF... let the gunk build up. Its only a SOHC afterall.. haha.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

simple green FTW.

then take the gunk stuff and go back over it.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

and they sell that ---- at the dollar store. a friend of mine dod that too, just sprayed it on and took the block down to a car wash and sprayed it with the pressure washer and it worked great.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

purple power and a wire wheel on an electric drill.

works great. Its all I use.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

purple power makes the outside of the engine look like ----.. Now for oil pans, gurdles, and anything that is oil stained, but as far as the outside of the engine.. Simple green a few times should wear it down good.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

I never thought t use that stove cleaner ----. Its tuff and smells strongs as hell. You think it would work?

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

pull the motor, completley disassemble, have it hot tanked, then reassemble it and throw it back in!

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

isn't that the most time consuming method and still get about the same results as the others?

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

i go to the car wash and spray the engine bay down w/ the tire/wheel cleaner ----. and let it sit while i wash my car the spray it down. it turns out pretty damn good.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

open quart of 10 weight oil; pour all over engine evenly.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

Carb cleaner dull's the clear coat, it's too damn strong.

Re: What do you all use to clean your motors.
 

You have clear coat on your motor?
