Ok, so I am needing to clean the engine in my ST.
I need to clean it inside and out. When I took off my throttle body, I noticed quite a lot of carbon, so I can just imagine what the intake manifold etc. look like. Also, it has a leaky valve cover gasket(new one is on its way), and it has 190k miles on it, so it needs a good cleaning. What do you use for cleaning the engine, such as purple power etc.? Also, what do you recommend for cleaning the inside of the engine? I have heard mixed reviews on stuff like seafoam, b12 chemtool, etc. What do you guys recommend? |

Yeah. I have heard stuff like that too. I just want to get rid of the carbon build up.
When pressure washing it like that, shouldnt you cover up electrical connectors and stuff, and leave it running? Thanks. |
