Hey guys..My engine bay is incredibly dirty...but I just don't have all of the equipment at my house to remove everything to clean it out....is it possible to do some cleaning without taking everything out? If so, how? Thanks!

simple green + rags = succeed
or take it to the car wash cover the coil,dizzy,alt,air filter if u have a sri with plastic bags and pressure wash it
Oh hell soon as you said simple green I was like screeeeew that haha, but that's probably what I will end up doing....anything besides simple green that works? I hate that shit
Any orange engine degreaser from WalMart or Autozone will work. Theres a certain kind in a spray bottle from autozone that seriously works fucking wonders. Cleaned my old CA's bay with minimal effort.
Just apply heavily everywhere with the bay dry, let it sit for about 5 minutes, pressure wash, repeat. Anything the pressure washer doesn't get you can scrub.
This how it looked after half assedly cleaning it a few months before the picture was taken. The underside of the hood was almost black and the orange stuff ate it all off.

And what the heck do I have to cover up If I want to take the hose to it?
If you car is stock, just cover up your coil, distributor, your black box if you feel the need to do so. You could always pull the negative battery terminal if you are worried.
Try and do this with the engine cold, or at least not full operating temp. Post pics!
Heck yeah, I will probably wait until this weekend to do it though....looking forward to it now!
how can anyone hate simple green :ugh::stick:Quote:

man that simple green works wonders, it ate old air intake and materialized CAI :D
Jk. no looks good indeed
yeah i just took some engine degresser to the engine and then i sprayed it down...cleaned the heck out if it
also i have used purple power and it works better then simple green
I did mine with some home-made stuff. Took some citric acid (powder) and dish washing liquid and put it in a spray bottle and added water. No idea where it would place against "real" cleaners, but it worked. ;)
