Welp, I cleaned my engine over the weekend, and I must say, a powerwasher, Gunk, and a toothbrush work VERY well.

Heres a before picture:

(Gross)

Heres a few after cleaning:






The first few sentences out of my mouth when I was done were:
-I didnt know the valve cover or the hoses were off-white!
-Wow! That Gunk is great!


That Gunk works AWESOME! You have to scrub off some of the dirt after about 10 minutes of Gunk, you can't just powerwash it off, but the Gunk really loosens the dirt.

Next cosmetic engine thing im doing is repainting the plenum. Red in the center, silver on the 3000, red on the V6 and the NISSAN. Then Ill prolly polish the rest of it with some metal polish.

 

Yowsa! Lookin good! Yet another testimony that spraying off the engine WON'T KILL IT.

 

Thanks

I read a thread where people were arguing which was better, powerwashing or toothbrush... So i used both!

Afterwards I was a little disappointed, but after taking the pictures and comparing them side-by-side I see it made a HUGE difference.

 

way to go. thats a huge improvement. now you have something to work with.

 

Thanks

Next weekend Im gonna do the same to the underside and get the spots I missed on the topside.

 

Wow, looks really good.
