Jellybean Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Thanks! You might as well wait when you go single then give everything a good going over while parts are off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 This is a very effective degreaser/cleaner......don't forgot to dilute it down for general use. https://www.bilthamber.com/surfex-hd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 One of those pastry type brushes you can twiddle in the groves as well as those more rigid tooth brush type brushes are useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
