Ok, so what's your secret for a minted out engine bay? I have no oil or grime on my engine, I do however have a shitload of water spots and hazy wiring. Some of you guys it looks like you take every individual part, polished it, and assembled with angel hands. I am envious of your engine bays. C'mon, share........ discuss

 

I used to use simple green to keep it clean, but now I just spray mine with tire foam. Let it sit a little while and wipe off the excess. Stays clean and looks new. If I get some grime, I just break out the simple green. No polishing for me, I cant keep up with the chrome on my bike much less under the hood of my truck.

 

Is that hard on the rubber & plastic?

 

One of these days when you're not looking I'm going to take your truck out mudding, bring it back and park it on your driveway. You'll come out and mud pies will be dripping from your fenders, the engine bay will be caked with dried up and burnt mud, there will be dings from flying rocks everywhere and on top of that I'll leave a note saying I slammed the doors.

PS. Don't forget to check your bed rug for my muddy boots.

 

Nope.

 

now that sounds like a good friend


I am interested in this topic too, it seems like my engine bay is always a little dirty.

 

I got sick of cleaning so I just pulled the motor out!! Now I don't worry about how clean it is... just when it'll all be back together again

+1 on tire foam if you don't have a lot of time.

 

My engine bay isn't spotless, but I keep it clean with simple green and a garden hose. I use a scrub brush on the plastic covers and wrap the alternator and PCM with plastic bags. The plastic covers and Volant get dried off with a soft towel while other areas get carefully hit with compressed air, trying to keep the splatter off of the fenders, windshield, etc. If I have any oil or grime build up, I'll hit that with some brakleen and compressed air first before washing.

 

Im very interested in this as well...Ive tried a few things really quick that helped some but Ill have to try simple green...

not to hyjack the thread, is there anyone with pics of there engine bay with the EGR deleted?...how about with their coil packs relocated or different valve cover?...Im tryin to get everything all set so when I swap motors I can make this baby purdy

 

I want clean like some of these examples shown:
