Engine Cleaning
 

Anyone in the New York area know of a good place to take the X to have the engine cleaned?

V - try giving Phil a call. He will detail the hell out of your ride. You wouldn't believe the work that he does. He is one of the sponsors here.:thumbup:

+1 ...

Buy some engine degreaser and do it yourself. Nothing overly complicated.

sounds like phil is the man. i'll give him a call. thx major 04 and motordavid.

nah wd 40 the crapp outta it then hit it with the hose !!

i tried the wd-40 and hit it with a high pressure hose. started the engine. it made a few weird sounds and died. any idea what could be causing this?

You got water in the electrical system or connecter

I normally use Simple Green. Works wonders! :cool:

ive got a water damaged X5 for sale. is there a bid?

How fast does it go?:rofl:

im sure a few of the super smart people on this site can have it back on the road terrorizing old ladies and school children in no time. make me a fair offer and its yours. unfortunately i cannot accept checks or food stamps.

How about a bank get for $1,000.:D

prolly just take it out tonight and torch it. have insurance company pay for it. get new x5. thx to the guy that told me to drench the engine in wd-40 and wash it off with an industrial strength water hose. i owe you one.

A Ferrari F430 is more the car for a fast guy like you.

think i might pick up a veyron this weekend. let me know if you want the X. yours for $35k.

Vince,

She has tons of photos posted, what about you?

You are an old married man she can do better than you.

What talk have I talked? :confused:

LOL not trying to take your woman kid. i have my own thx. dont be so insecure. women dont find that at all sexy, but im sure youve already been told that by many of them.

She is not my women, I am an old married man as well.

Now about the photos, are you scared?

pictures are worth 1000 words.

........................:confused:

Vince,

What is with you, just try to be nice and cut out all the BS, like you really drown engine right. Are you trying to rise the ire of every person in this group?

this is my X before i cleaned the engine with wd-40 and a high pressure water hose. it looks much different now. it was mysteriously torched about an hour ago.

me thinks you take yourself far too seriously. lighten up francis. im more than happy to be the jackass on this board. makes me laugh. try it, you'll like it.

Blue has "Been there, Done that" several times already. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :stickpoke

(Sorry Blue, couldn't resist.)

wait!!! befor you do that i want those RUNNING BOARDs

only minor fire damage. all yours for a double cheeseburger. ;)

Hey M I just spotted that "I love Petron" in sig.. NIIIICE... 1 shot 2 shot 3 shot FLOOR!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :bustingup :bustingup

Yah you need to shoot the person that told you to use a high pressure hose and wd40. I've heard that the simple green is really good.

As far as you pissing everyone off on the board.. should be fun to watch. A few ppl I can think off the top of my head that it would be interesting :popcorn: LOL

Nahhhh....we each took at least 5 shots in the first two hours of the TriState Meet and were still standing...probably another 8 or 10 throughout the rest of the day. No one hit the floor. :thumbup:

i didnt really trash my X but some trickster did suggest i just hose down the engine and spray it with wd-40.

i love to be hated!

i'll get help with my speeding problem if you start attending AA.

Haha wow, vince I don't have a problem with you sppeding lol

then as far as this site goes, that makes 2 of us! :rofl:

But, Vincey, I thought it wasn't a "problem." :stickpoke

If drinking heavily once every few months qualifies me for AA, then sign me up!

post #5 of the now infamous "speed" thread :

"i agree with you but i have a problem. an alcoholic knows he shouldnt drink but he does it anyway. 30 yrs of driving, zero accidents. perhaps my first will be my last."

i know i have a problem but clearly you are in denial. you seem like a nice kid michelle. get yourself some help before you kill somebody.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :thumbup:

If he was speeding while drinking patron it would be a problem =P

Stop the violence increase the peace!

sounds like a good start.

:iagree:

I think i know who's on top of your head. LOL :rofl:

hey im the trickster that said just spray the crap outta it with wd-40 then hit it with the hose , IT WORKS GREAT I'VE DONE IT 1 EVERY 2 MO'S FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS !!

WD-40 = DEGREASER ONE OF THE BEST CLEANING AGENTS , I USE IT ON MY ATV ASWELL WORKS GREAT !!

LOL but you have to explain "hit it with the hose"

The best practice would be to wrap all exposed wires with tape - and use a LIGHT spray hose..

thank you.

how stupid do you have to be to do that? is this the first car that you bought yourself without mommy and daddy's help? jeeeez.

are you a professional hater? u certainly are qualified. :bustingup

Yes, I hate stupid people.

my IT guy really likes RE-explaining the dynamics of
 

Electronics and WATER to me.

Did you really H.P. spray the motor then try start it?? :banghead:

IF you are going to spray the engine comp. with water:
A. To be 100% safe-disconnect the battery.
B. As mentioned cover any electronics and wires.
C. Let everything DRY thoroughly before reconnecting battery OR starting the car.
