What is a good way to clean out the engine bay? - Page 2

Do it on a level surface with cardboard under the engine bay.

I would say crc makes a good cleaner but I haven't used sinse 98 or so.
So I don't know what else is available now.

I am currently using crc engine assembly lube in my rebuild. It's a bit different than the arp molly. But it works the same. I don't think arp molly can be beat.

I know HH disagreea but I cleaned my block with the pb blaster and it looks great. I sprayed it on let it sit and took a brass toothed brush too it and it looks great.

I personally don't like using degreaser followed up by spraying down the engine...

I would suggest getting a pack shop towels, cleaner (orange blast/kerocene), followed by armor all and taking some time detailing the engine.

Mothers Mag. and Alum. polish (safe for all metals) works wonders things like your alternator, intake manifold, throttle body ect... it just takes a while.

Mothers is good stuff. It was a secret for a long time among car guys then it blew up comercially.
