How to Clean Dirty Engine Parts, Fast,Easy, And Cheap

[@amerlin388]

Suggestions: Invest in a cheap electric power washer and reduce the time going to the car wash. Maybe spritz some fogging oil over the internal parts of the engine after washing. Don't use chlorinated brake cleaner if it might come in contact with internal seals; I saw you use non-chlorinated - good choice.

[@mattwnovak]

Bro how on earth you gonna sit engine heads down on raw concrete?!

[@J05hFontenot]

I was thinking the same damn thing

[@5starace511]

I'm still new to driving but is their a problem with resting my engine or engine head on raw concrete?

[@J05hFontenot]

@@5starace511 it's likely to mar up the mating surfaces, potentially causing leaks once it's put back together. You need to be careful with heads especially, you don't want a weak head gasket

There on sheets of wood and going to be rebuilt.

[@KidFromQueens]

Bruh, I can't stress how LITTLE that matters! As long as u don't drag it on the ground or put weight on top of it, it's FINE!!🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Adder-zo4fy]

Thank you for showing "La's Totally Awesome" cleaner/degreaser!! This stuff is amazing and does the job you want to achieve amazingly!! Also add some to your wash when doing laundry and your stains will be gone and clothes will look brighter.

[@ApprenticeGM]

To clean anything really dirty the best method is rinse-wash-rinse. The pressure washer is a terrific tool and should be used first, as it will remove water-soluble dirt and clean a lot of non-water-soluble dirt (oils, grease) using micro-abrasion (which is safe on metals and plastics, at least if they are thick enough to withstand the water blast which engines are). Then you can use surfactants / degreasers / chemical cleaners to remove the remaining oil and grime. Soaking works a lot better after the pre-rinse. Then you can come back with the pressure washer and remove the cleaners and dissolved dirt and whatever it has loosened up. Much more efficient and effective. Rinse-wash-rinse!

Can't use a pressure washer during the winter.

[@tyriqueross4018]

@@Pk3_GarageI’m trying to figure out how to degrease my parts in winter as well, have you figured something out?

[@austingibson6428]

Totally awesome will literally stip the paint off of a car when it's undiluted so be careful people. Let my mistake save you some money.

[@Magnetica32]

Thank you for that

[@TACOMASRT5]

People laugh at me but I love LA Totally Awesome

[@crazysexycool180]

when they try it they will love it too

[@carlosesquivel7889]

Works awesome

[@LegitPaintBall1]

Your cleaning the valves and mating surfaces with a wire brush, leaving heads on bare concrete and then pressure washing heads like flash rust doesn’t exist. You do understand the average person will destroy his car watch this.

[@tybchance6918]

Was thinking the same thing lol

[@crazysexycool180]

aluminum don't rust furthermore the brush is softer then the metal and the bristles will break off before causing any damage.

[@frekkledipped]

I found that stuff works even better if you shake the bottle and get it to foam especially when its down in the bottle a bit

[@kingningthougaming5204]

What that spray stuff using here

[@danhoy8356]

I absolutely love your totally awesome videos!

[@crazysexycool180]

thank you,

[@ericmesi1764]

I used a power washer with water and purple power cleaner worked pretty well.

[@TearItUpFixItTV]

How you dry it off?? Air hose??

[@factsoverfeelings21]

LA TOTALLY AWESOME works wonders and I use it to remove anodized parts but it’s does eat away aluminum. Be careful.

[@vernonbosshard9317]

Soon as you spray the blech white tire cleaner it turns brown and the grease is running off. Cleans the dry brown residue thats left. I have used it carbs too.

[@Abhishek6655gddxg]

Yu can use diesel instead it cuts the grease and dirt like a pro

[@nasqad3357]

You should try oven cleaner spray can and let it sit for 5 minute then hit with a pressure washer comes of easy as pie

[@Pk3_Garage]

Just use a Parts Washer. No mess to clean up and it can be environmentally friendly, if using a water base cleaner.

[@crazysexycool180]

do you realize how much part washer cleaner cost?

[@Pk3_Garage]

Yes.

[@divynal66]

What did you do to get the water out of the powerwashed parts? I'm assuming we don't air dry lol

[@vernonbosshard9317]

Bauer sawdust blower from Harbor freight.

[@tylersmith4412]

Vinegar works great

[@strikevyyper]

oven cleaner from the dollar store works even better in my opinion and a lot less money

[@crazysexycool180]

how oven cleaner is more then a dollar and very caustic.

[@PlanetLutetium]

I second that

[@KidFromQueens]

Degreaser, a brush n a garden hose gets the same results!

[@crazysexycool180]

brush requires muscle, let the chemical do the work.

[@thesetruths1404]

I put a pint of brake fluid in a crankcase with 5.5 quarts new motor oil. Do you think that will do anything bad for 5,000 miles?

[@nickcarter159]

Do I need to blow the parts off with air to get the water off .......And hit it with WD-40 or other lube before I get to Insulation ..........

[@lieberfreialsgleich]

what about the more important oil channels inside the heads?

[@grahamb1172]

Did you clean the valley and tops of pistons with motor together?

[@pingpong9656]

Sealing surfaces on concrete? Is that really a good idea?

[@Smilesalot1023]

And all those chemicals go into the ground, environment, etc. But who cares, your crappy parts are clean.

[@ggggggg4327]

Or you can use gasoline to clean oily parts.(spraying)

[@crazysexycool180]

gas is flammable and expensive. now make it make sense

[@HolyAdonis]

have you ever run awesome through a vacuum hose like people do with seafoam?

[@justinracine6737]

It’s mainly water whereas sea foam is oil based. Would want to steam clean my pistons

[@barenekid9695]

Other videos found that Stuff doesn't work. Need a couple Cases of Brake cleaner to Do even a small 4 cyl engine.

[@xjbuild6744]

Will this work if you leave engine in? I don’t want to pull everything. If not what would you recommend?

[@bluefeatherlopez7]

Awesome

[@chrisburnsed6349]

Nothing cleans and cuts through built up engine oil and sludge like a good ol’ fashioned soaking in gasoline in a plastic tub.

[@ldogg509]

Is this a commercial for O Reilly's Brake cleaner ?

How much did you spend at the car wash?

[@ericblankenship17]

[@donaldspeck9212]

If you could spend $200 and buy a 30litre sonic cleaner and 3 gal of Awesome your parts come out amazing while you are doing something else

[@AutodidactEngineer]

Petrol does a much better job also you don't need to spray 1L bottle over it😂

[@crazysexycool180]

petrol is expensive , flammable, and toxic for the environment. now what was you saying

[@AutodidactEngineer]

@@crazysexycool180 I don't know where you live but where I live Petrol is 1.50€ per Liter! And the product that you used is over priced!
