The engine is the heart of your car.
Just like your heart though, it goes through a lot of hidden wear-and-tear that
you wouldn't notice outright. Fortunately, unlike your heart, you can take it
out and clean it up so that it functions like brand new. If you're planning to
clean your car engine, here's a basic primer.
First, you'll want to buy some maintenance
and cleaning items from an automotive
supplies dealer; engine cleaners, degreasers, and other related items
should be on your list. Next, remember to let your engine cool down for a day
before taking it out. When you finally do take your engine out, remember to
cover all of the intakes to ensure that your cleaning solutions and water don't
go into places where they shouldn't. Now you're ready for some heavy-duty
cleaning.
The first step is to degrease the
engine; grease can get everywhere so carefully inspect every nook and cranny.
After the grease is removed, you get to the main part of cleaning; use cleaning
solutions to get all of the remaining dirt and grime out of your engine. Once
that's done, let it dry. When the engine's dry, it's time to start waxing and
placing protective layers. Finally, shine everything up and make sure that
plug, cords, and other engine components are in their right place. You can be
assured that if you've done it right, your engine will run like a dream.
