Oh I'm ready for this world series.

If the Phillies win, I get a day off of work

However growing up in NEPA with a whole family from NY, I grew up a Yankees fan...

so I'm torn! haha

 

i always use simple green to cleen the engine and use a little armoral on the plastic cover on the engen to make it look even better. but i always cover the altinator its not desiened to get drenched like that

 

I wouldnt want to be a yankees fan in philly anyway or you might be torn, haha. lol.

GO phillies

 

Here's my before and after of a quick clean:

 

these pics side by side look way better than just going by eye, wow it looks better than i thought hah

 

^^^looks good^^^

 

thanks, i was thinking about painting the intake manifold, but would that increase heat which would decrease horsepower?

 

If you use an engine paint it won't harm anything.

 

alright maybe ill tape everything off and ill just to the 3400, itd look kinda cool i think

 

Here is what I have done for many years on my cars. I will not drive a car with a dirty engine! First I spray everything with Purple power http://www.clean-rite.com/ you can find it at auto zone etc. I get the big gallon container and poor it into a spray bottle. Let it sit for 5-10 mins. Then I use a power washer can clean it all off. Obviously be careful where you spray the power washer. Then I use compress air (or leaf blower ;-) to dry it out. Water will sit on the top of a 3800, so I blow that out real good. Then after it is dry I spray CRC Engine Stor Fogging Oil (google it) on the block, wires connections, anything that will corrode. It is an oil that clings and lasts. Spray it on the aluminum block/Trans and it make it look much better. The first time it will soak up a bit so you may have to do it a few times. The down side to the CRC is that it will collect dust. So I don’t put it on the plastics and hoses. On those I use good old armor all..


I have done this to MANY cars and I have had no problems. Your mileage may vary so I take no responsibility…
