Heh, thanks.
I think I'm gonna give my '82GT a try tomorow. But I'm not gonna run the motor, its gonna be a cold motor..I just don't wanna crack my block...I'll just be super carefull of the alternator and distributor.
You may end up with a rough running engine, afterwards. All of those type of problems have been caused by cleaning cold engines with water. It pools up where it shouldn't and causes problems. Not every time, but sometimes. The instruction to leave the engine running is to maximize the heat to prevent this from happening. Unless you start dumping buckets or large, fast streams of water on your engine (this would be dumb, BTW) you will not be cracking your block. Prolly not even then, really.
I got the results above with a running engine, nothing covered (remember it is fuel injection, carbs would need more care, I think), and a simple "spray on, spray off" application (except for the protectant, that was only "spray on").
The comment above that mentioned that they did not get the same results as at the top, left out the protectant step at the end. That makes a big difference in overall impact.
I did not experience any "white residue" in my application. Nor did my friend with the Prelude. Both of us applied simple green to a hot engine and removed it with a water sprinkle (no scrubbing, all while engine is running). I suspect these cases are caused by something besides the simple green itself, for that reason. We would have experienced the "white residue", otherwise.
Sorry, this thread had not show up as having new posts in it for me. I opened it to get the URL to link to and found it had new posts, anyway.
