FILTHY Engine Bay Detail on a 200k Mile Honda Civic | Start to Finish

[@bruno_mcd]

Anyone else felt satisfied when the nylon brush fitted perfectly inbetween the valve cover and the pulley part? Great video man. Greetings all the way from the Nürburgring.

[@16toni125]

Olhem que é ele 🙋

[@dennisjackson1674]

Satisfied is right

[@ardisuli]

The engine came out pretty clean. I would detail and clean my 2003 honda civic engine every few months. It may not be the coolest looking engine but it felt good to have a pretty clean engine all the time. Keep up the videos, always waiting and excited to watch.

Did this not too long ago and my gas pedal started sticking. Consensus from some forums was that the water pressure might have pushed dirt and debris into the rotating mechanism of the throttle body (TB). Prior to me owning my car, an old lady owned the car for 24 years and had never cleaned the engine bay so it was pretty filthy. Some TB cleaner at your local auto parts store will fix it right up if this ever happens to you haha.

[@troyl5929]

TB cleaner, brake cleaner, or simply soapy water on your throttle cable and spring. Soak it good and maybe use a brush if you can fit it on the cable and spring, make sure to clean the cable and activate the throttle and clean between the pulley. Then any multipurpose grease/gun cleaner/oil works on the spring and wire/pulley. No WD40 though.

[@BlueCivid]

Ima have to try this my throttle body sticks when it’s parked over night and I have to put my foot down a bit to get it to go

[@kainestefaniak2751]

Same happened to me i had to keep clutching in and kicking my pedal I used some lube cant remember if it was silicone based or what on the throttle cable and some light oil on the return sprung and throttle shaft Use a motorbike cable lube tool and spray from the top down it should fill the cable in 5 seconds without a air leak then go in the cabin and wipe the excess overnight.. my clean up was next to nothing

[@paolohuang9935]

Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well kzbin.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

[@peterrudy9207]

After I clean my engine in a similar way and let dry completely . I spray 303 Protectant liberally all over the engine compartment . Specifically to resist plastic and rubber parts / components from drying out and cracking . It dries without any issue at all , though it willl attract surface dirt . Which after around 6 months ? I will do the same again . Of course making sure I do this if possible in the summer months at least for one application . I stuff 1-2 microfiber towels into the air intake to prevent water from getting it .

[@theusedblink]

It's like I'm watching Chrisfix's engine bay cleaning video all over again.

Hey Guys!! 😅

[@matth6284]

Great job dude! Your videos are always helpful and high quality. I actually just got my Civic running after 3 very long months because i took the head to get machined and didn't have enough money to have it put back together so i did it myself. I'm so happy to drive it again 😁

I've got an 04 Camry with over 230,000 miles on it and the engine bay still looks pretty darn good

[@robertmaybeth3434]

Me ditto, 2002 V6. Always kept the engine clean, it is SOO much easier to touch up an engine that hasn't been allowed to get filthy, then coming in and trying to clean it.

[@callmetimmy3004]

I needed this my dad has a del sol in the garage and it's been sitting for 8 years I'm starting to get it working and it's so filthy in the engine bay

[@baloghbotond4250]

Anyone else thinks it is a VERY good idea to disconnect the battery while doing things like this?

[@sferree28]

I did when i did my pick up. Also used a garden hose and sprayer, and masked off fuse box, ecu, alternator, etc. Came out perfect without a pressure washer

[@robertmaybeth3434]

..I just cover it up and clean later. By hand, using good old baking soda solution.

[@Tony_Seed]

Nah

[@regisdickson3142]

Yes, just cleaned mine and disconnected the battery. Came out perfect!!!

[@jacobvarley5453]

Why? Water isn't as good of a conductor as the layman thinks. It's actually quite poor. You need electrolytes like salt or baking soda to make it conductive. You can soak that battery all you want, you're fine. Just don't soak electronics.

[@axzell2]

I clean my cars engines once a year. during the hottest days in the summer, and then let the car sit for 24 hours with the hood open. Love the feeling of it cleaned...it makes mechanics happy also.

[@ethanrowan5609]

I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m looking into getting myself an 90’s Honda Civic soon and it was awesome finding out you live in the same town as me

[@AlexRR1]

I clean my engine bay regularly, easy to spot any fluid leaks when clean, if you work on the engine hands are cleaner, never had a problem but be careful on rollers from the belt and alternator, degreaser will clean too good them bearings and the will fail alot faster

Your follower from the Middle East by selecting the Sultanate of Oman is a loving follower ♥️ 🇴🇲

[@riceburner4747]

Good for YOU! Nicely done! Ppl think it's wrong to WASH engine bays, I do NOT. I feel greasy/dirty engines are like "frying an egg". When they are "clean" they breathe easier/cool quicker/stay cooler. PLUS, nicer to work on. I use Simple Green on stubborn dirt, but hose my engine bays several times a year at self serve car washes but dont push trigger & that spray is adequate to clean off dust. Yours looks SO much better! 👍

[@famus801]

Best thing I’ve found for cleaning hoods is Clorox wipes. You might go through a whole bottle but it’s worth it

[@km9643]

Always a pleasure, Err' Day. This is a great mix between OG's hour long talk about how rich I am and TRC's turn 5 hours into 5 minutes video format. Hope to see you go full time here soon so you can stunt on these fools!

[@73SDR]

That distributor looks really easily accessed. Might be better just to clean it, and dry it afterwards on an engine this dirty. That's what I did on my Volvo. Also, I've found that plug wells often collect water, so pulling the plug wires from the start isn't a bad idea. Then dry them out with a shop vac, and compressed air after cleaning. I wasn't clear on why a wheel cleaner was used. I'd choose a degreaser.

[@100GTAGUY]

He stated once or twice at the beginning he used wheel cleaner because it's got some iron/rust inhibitors (fine rotor dust gets everywhere and then oxidizes, and contributes futher to dissimilar metal corrosion), and works well for cleaning grease and grime which while not as oily as an engine brakes tend to get pretty gunky. Being a wheel cleaner it's most likely formulated to not damage or etch various kinds of bare metal from steel to aluminum as well. I personally just spray everything down with klean strip paint thinner made from mineral spirits, and or purple power/simple green for less soiled cleaning projects. I got a siphon wand for my compressor, and I'll just give the engine a light spray and let it soak. Then scrub it all with a few nylon brushes by hand or stuck in the cordless drill chuck. Give it one light spray to get the gunk flowing off, another quick scrub with the brushes (after giving them a quick cleaning with compressed air) and then just blow all the dirt, oil, and sludge off with compressed air and it's Gucci (may require one extra rinse, and blow dry) Granted on a really dirty engine bay, you may need to do it once more from the beginning. I've cleaned nearly 1500 engines this way and never had a problem with it damaging paint, electronics, plastics, rubbers, epoxy resins, or coil windings in alternators or stators. It's just damn messy and a pain to deal with if you don't have a containment/runoff treatment system, which we had at the old shop but I don't have at home currently. Another plus is that any residue from them will evaporate off shortly and you don't have to worry about it shorting anything out.

My 87 Firebird is just as filthy at 250K miles. Need to find someone just like him to give my engine it’s well deserved cleaning!

[@robertmaybeth3434]

Some steps I do, mostly to make certain that engine WILL restart: 1. Cover the alternator w plastic. 2) Cover the air inlet with plastic! 3. Then either clean the alt carefully by hand or jsut leave it dirty - is a broken alternator worth it to get the engine completely clean?!

[@___rocaj]

2:27 and it smells like mint 🤣🤣 good to know. So satisfying good job bruh!

[@JamieTheCleaner]

You got some splaning to do sneaking in to the TRC wash bay and filming like that

[@bryanmercado8755]

He covered the distributor but not the alternator?

[@armandocardona6975]

I don’t recommend spraying degreaser on the whole engine bay. That can dry out hoses and plastics.

[@Badeau68]

The motor plas will rejuvenate any hoses are rubber items

[@FinlayDaG33k]

>"try to avoid anything that looks like a sensitive area" >Me looking at the entire engine bay: "Well... crapbaskets..."

[@charizmah5]

before you pressure washer the engine bay....disconnect the battery or remove it completely to clean the battery tray area too and to prevent short circuit

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Motorplast is a fantastic product. For engines that are in a little better shape, Vonixx makes a ceramic engine bay coating called V-Energy. Can be used on Plastic, Metal and Rubber. It's phenomenal and super fairly priced for a ceramic coating.

Pro tip remove your battery before you clean your bay to protect your electronics. this also give you a chance to clean your battery tray and battery terminals.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Makes no difference in removing it other than giving the tray a clean. “Modern cars” can take it

[@etakishinji7266]

Yes!!!!! Waited so long for this video after you posted a sneak peek in your ig. But Is that really safe? What bout the sensors? The battery? The fuse box? I mean, you soaked it good but will it not affect the circuits?
