1. Ensure that the engine is cool before starting the cleaning process so as to prevent the risk of injury.
2. Open the hood of your car to expose the engine. Remove any plastic covers that may prevent you from accessing the engine fully.
3. Disconnect the battery terminals for safety purposes. Since you will be working with a liquid degreaser, it's important to prevent any electrical short circuits.
4. Cover any sensitive areas like the alternators, electric devices, air intake, sensors, and the distributor with plastic bags. The engine degreaser is not friendly to these parts.
5. Start by spraying the Gunk Engine Degreaser on the engine. Make sure all areas are covered, especially parts that are heavily soiled or oily. Let the degreaser sit for about 10-15 minutes. For heavier grease, you might need to scrub with a brush.
6. After the degreaser has worked its magic, rinse off with a slow stream of water. Avoid using a high-pressure washer as this can damage the electrical parts of your engine.
7. After rinsing it off thoroughly, let it dry. You can help speed up this process by wiping it with a clean, dry cloth or using a blower.
8. Once it's fully dry, start your vehicle and let the engine run for about 15 minutes to dry off any remaining water.
9. Finally, remember to remove all the plastic bags you used to cover the sensitive parts. Reconnect the battery terminals and replace any covers that you may have removed.
Remember to always dispose of the run-off properly as it can contain chemicals harmful to the environment.
Before changing spark plugs, it's crucial to let the engine cool to avoid burns and potential damage to engine components. Typically, waiting 2-3 hours should suffice, as this allows the engine and surrounding parts to reach a safe temperature. Operating on a hot engine not only poses a risk to personal safety but can also lead to difficulty in removing the spark plugs, as components expand with heat. Cooling ensures metal contracts, minimizing the chances of stripping threads during removal. Remember, working on a completely cold engine provides the safest environment for both the mechanic and the vehicle's internals, ensuring a smoother and safer spark plug replacement process.
The internal combustion engine was first invented by Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir in 1859. However, the version that is most similar to today's engines was developed by Nikolaus August Otto in 1876.
