I use a product called Noalox. It is made by Ideal Industries. You can find it in the electrical aisle at HD or Lowes. It is an electrically conductive oxide inhibiting compound. We use it on aluminum wire connections to prevent them from oxidizing.

 

I will tell y'all how I clean mine, again. . I take the 6637 and hose off at the bracket where the ccv goes in. I stuff rags inside the tube to keep the water out. I use a wash down gun on air line coming from air compressor, I stick the suction hose into a gallon jug of Simple Green and with air psi, I spray it full strength. It's dripping off the bottom of the engine. I spray through the fender wells, under the engine, all over the trans, everywhere. I have never covered anything on the engine, I just don't soak the electrical parts to much. I let it set for a few mins and if there is a stubborn spot, I use a paint brush to scrub. I then take a water hose and wash everything, in the cracks, between things, everywhere. I spray from the wheel wells under the engine, under the trans. I then use the gun to spray air to get the excess water off. Then I crank the engine and let it run for a few mins to dry everything up. I then use Tire Shine in a spray bottle. I spray all the plastic parts and use a rag to get the excess off.

OH, don't forget to take the rags out of the intake before cranking. And put the clean tub and filter back in place. I do this every 2-3 months, and have done this from day one, 9-9-2000. Thats why it looks like it does. I know it would be harder to clean an engine that is 8-10 years old if it never been cleaned before.

Good write up Pete. I don't get too worked up about covering everything either.

 

Now that I see Miller's pics it all makes sense to me. The beer is the key to doing this and appears to be the most important step. I shall take this new knowledge give it a shot, sans the girl panties.....
After I install the coolant filter than arrived today. Woot!

 

Rick...that is disgusting...

disgustingly spotless.

geezus.

makes me feel guilty that my motor does not look like that. Is the beer can permanently installed?

Oh Snap!

 

Thanks Lisa, no the beer has to be able to move around. But that can is the best tip I can give for a clean engine.

 

i went to the middletown ny big lots today for dupont tire shine and they had everything but
worst part is i was so excited because it was the grand opening today
guess ill have to go to the other one thats anohter 30 min farther away

 

Did everything but the tire shine today. Took me a bottle and a half of Simple Green and a full roll of paper towels. I've got to get some more tire shine. I'm out right now. I thought I had some.

I did find out that my IC boots are originally blue. Not black.

 

thanks for the write up Rick, and thanks Pete for bringing this up, blue? ha! yup. How about a couple pic's?

Rick, You're right about going from day-1. my '94 F150 is clean, had it from day one. had the F250 only 2 months, and the other guy had it in a dusty-dirty part of the state. Also helps to never have an oil leak.
