I was wondering if there is any concern with using engine cleaner/ degreaser on a metro engine to clean it up a bit after 16 years of crud? Any precautions and what brand to use? thanks |

I keep it cheap, if you go to a local carwash where you can wash it yourself, not the automated one, you can use the "Tire Cleaner" option, i think it actually might be stronger than simple green, its green aswell, and is an ultra concentrated solution. Its usually green, its a chemical made by Simononz i know i spellt it wrong, i just forget what the stuff was actually called, i usta work at a car wash with several self serve bays, and a big automated. Spray on tire cleaner, let it sit for a little, spray on some more, then use the water pressure and it will take off quite a bit of crud. Just watch out when you spray near your Dist, since you might not have a gasket under it and get water in your dist cap

Be careful! Once you start cleaning you might find you like the results and will have to perform this function more often than every 16 years... |
