88pathylove Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 i have an 88 with a vg 30 and was wondering what in the engine bay needs to be covered/sealed in order to give it a thorough power washing? (got it dirty in the spring fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondo Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I can't remember if your engine is fuel injected or carbureted. If it is the later, which I think it is, make sure you seal up that area well. Also, if you are using a really high pressure compressor or nozzle don't spray directly on any soft rubber such as vacuum lines or coolant hoses, also take the same precaution on any exposed gaskets and/or seals as well. Don't spray directly on any electrical components either for prolonged periods of time like the distributor. I have done this many times and haven't had any problems afterwards... just spray lightly or stand back a few feet. P.S. I usually go to the car wash to do this and when I do I flip the selector switch on soft water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I've done mine numerous times. Just don't spray the distributor and try not to directly spray wiring connectors. A garden hose and Purple Power degreaser actually works just as well as pressure washing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 POR-15 works wonders also. I just used a garden hose without any sprayer tip just free flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 POR-15 for engine cleaning? Are you talking about their Marine Clean stuff? I don't think you'd want to be spraying POR-15 with a garden hose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 What I meant was to rinse it after spraying with por-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
