Viewing: Is your engine clean

**xavier** · 29-07-2011, 02:57 PM

Just what is it like in your engine bay, is it clean? Do you really care about how clean your engine is? Does a clean engine last longer than a dirty one?

Mine is pretty grubby and a friend says I should clean it but I really can't be arsed especially since noone really ever gets to see it.

No bloody filthy. Normally clean both bays but been too busy to do either:

Missing a turbo and a boost hose mind lol. That hose is not as clean as it looks in the pic either haha.

I'm afraid not, mines pretty dirty as it is a functional engine bay and not a show car. I do give it a clean now and then to remove the road dirt and to ensure all is well with no leaks etc. But I do not polish it or coat it at all, that'll be making a rod for my own back!

Spotless...just a bit underpowered

Lovely and clean, but I doubt it will stay that way as I won't be making a point of cleaning it.

It is - much easier to inspect and look over a clean engine bay that a dirty one.

Not too bad, needs more work! Working on some more bling next week

Mine is filthy at the moment. I do try to clean it out every once in a blue moon but haven't had the time as of late. About the only things a clean engine does is a) look cool and b) makes it easier to spot leaks. Gotta be careful when cleaning though. Had one of the new guys on my ship blast out a gasket with a pressure washer because it wasn't clean enough for him. Spent an extra 4 hours getting a new one from the store and installing it then had to reclean the engine lol.

**turbonutter69** · 03-08-2011, 01:23 PM

It said just add water and it vanished!

**Marc07** · 07-08-2011, 08:18 PM

I guess is OK...

**MasterAuron** · 11-08-2011, 05:02 PM

Is there any metal in there?

Looks spanking, I will give mine a good going over when I'm happy with the boost from the actuator.

**jc denton** · 11-08-2011, 05:46 PM

MasterAuron, I just noticed that the picture of your engine doesn't seem to be a 5 cylinder focus RS engine?!?!?!? correct me if I'm wrong.

**MasterAuron** · 11-08-2011, 05:51 PM
