Recommended Posts

My engine was not cleaned probably since 1993 :) Just the odd wipe here and there

 

With the Bikes WD40 is a favorite and ACF50 for corrosion resistance

 

What to give it a deep clean and try maintain a reasonable clean bay , good to see any leaks

 

I find in around the injectors she gets fairly dirty with grit/crap , as i have the TRD hood , she has open vents

 

Unfortunately no air hose/ compressor

 

It is in SITU , what products do you guys find good for cleaning/protection? Was looking at GUNK Green Engine degreaser/ AutoGlym engine cleaner

I find Meguiars engine cleaner good .. Though ever since I unbolted loads of parts to be polished etc I gave everything a real good clean then and its been easy to maintain since.

 

I take my time taping up all electrical connectors, Spark plug cover, air filter and battery etc. Spray loads of engine cleaner and with a detailer brush start scrubbing in all the crevices ..

 

I then use a jet wash using the fine mist nozzle and standing a few feet back rinsing it down, wipe everything dry, remove all tape/bags etc and start it up

 

Job done
