"am i ruining the engine? who knows!" lmaooooo

This guy sounds like the mammoth from ice age.

That engine bay was super clean to begin with.

I hope your truck started and ran smoothly after that pressure spray. Many vehicles could not take that much pressure spray to the electrical components and air intakes

Wow. He considers that a moderately dirty engine. Hate to show him my engine. Lol

He didn't wait 15 minutes and he soaked a warm engine. Yup that's how most of us would have done it also, this is real world testing.

I have used this product and the SuperTech and Gunk versions. I think they are all equally good. When I find them on sale I usually buy 4-5 cans to keep on hand. The best thing about foamy degreasers is that the will work on vertical and inverted (like if you got underneath and sprayed the side of the engine and oil pan). These degreasers are very good for the thicker oily grease you get on intake manifolds and front and side of valve covers too. For just dirt, dust and light grime, I would use something like Super Clean or Purple Power. I think they are less likely to harm your plastics and body paint if your rinsing is less than fully optimal. Basically I feel it's better to use the less stronger cleaners when they will work well and they are more cost effective. I don't use a torch when a lit match will do. I really like your Worx water spray gun though, didn't know they existed. Gunna look into that one.

Just remember, degreasers have to sit to break down the grease then it rinses off much easier. Letting it sit for a minute or two is not long enough for it to do anything useful.

“Am I ruining the engine, who knows!” 🤣🤣🤣

Is this Ray Romano?

80-year-old woman. I recently did this, only used "tire foam" and follow recommended procedure from one of these podcasts on a newly acquired 2000 Buick Lesabre because it came from not so desirable winter climate. Well it didn't get all the grease off but there was 21 years of crap on the engine. The engine did run a little rough because the blower I had was from a canister vacuum cleaner and am sure some water must have gotten somewhere it shouldn't. Are overhauling my new acquisition and replaced a battery, the driving lights module, cruise control and trying to fix a few rust problems. Trying to decided what to do about scratches and paint. That auto body class I took at 35 will come in handy. Got a '41 Chevy at 15 and cars were easier to work on in 1955. Worked on all my cars and loved doing it. Now I'm having a second childhood working on cars again. Solo much fun!

I personally use the O'Reilly on my silverado about twice a year scrubbing most areas and use a garden hose to rinse. I have no complaints. Use 2 cans each cleaning, not scrubbing first round use the whole can, second round scrubbing using whole can. It is a great cheap product

"Talks about saving the rest of the can" *Continues to spray the bottle*

Dude sounds like Howard Stern lol.

Scott quick question how do you feel about dusters for your car personally I think that it would scratch the surface of your paint but was looking at the Chemical Guys duster looks real soft was wondering your opinion on this. Is it better to just stay away from the duster for removing a light dusting on your car or would you recommend a quick detail spray ? Thanks for all you do absolutely love all your videos you have made detailing a lot easier and understanding each different situation Thanks again !!!!

Scott, started watching your videos about a year ago, back when a few thousand views was good. Your content is so good and I’m happy that your channel is taking off. Incredible to see some of the view totals! Keep it up. You are my go to when it comes to detailing!

Idk why but I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing

I just started watching and subscribed, have you worked on any turbo vehicles? Is the process the same and naturally aspirated engines?

Good job on the video. I use the same thing. BUT when I'm done washing. I whip out my leaf blower and completely DRY the motor.

Great tutorial but I would recommend a couple of things. First to disconnect the battery terminals, spray off the engine with water then spray the degreaser, let it sit for at least 5 minutes then using a brush to get deep down then rinsing it really thoroughly. You may need to spray the degreaser multiple times to get a better clean. Do this during the hot summer sunny day where you know it will dry off with in an hour or 2 before starting your vehicle and once done hosing off the engine bay really well, take a air gun and blow any remaining water in all circuits and wires and let your engine dry for at least 1 to 2 hours, reconnect your battery and simply start and let it run for 10 minutes to dry any remaining water that hasn't been dried yet.

Was wondering since you never covered the alternator distributor or even that high pressure shooting at the engine the startup okay afterwards? Although I've done this many years ago in the past I'm not sure if I do it again today because it seems a little sketchy of entreated what's Kitty water everywhere and at that high-pressure just curious on how your vehicle worked afterwards thanks for the video

“Make sure to protect all electric parts” you literally sprayed every electrical part in that damn thing!

If I do not have access to a sprayer or garden hose, can I just use a damp cloth and then dry with a clean dry cloth? Awesome video. Thanks so much.

I love their regular degreaser. My truck had an oil cooler line leak that I won't say how long I let it go. Do have a good reason though. But my truck was baaaaad underneath. Id just spray and let it work then come back with a heavy duty regular ol water bottle with a sprayer. Will do a stream or most and is pretty stout for a hand squeezer. Made my truck look almost new underneath

Over the years I've tried lots of de-greasers. Most don't work worth a damn. One day a friend turned me on to "Simple Green". I thought, yeah right, a biodegradable product is going to cut grease. It's the only thing I use now. Fantastic stuff !

I power wash the side of my house much like this but all the electrical wires are inside the walls

Great videos man helped me a lot thank you.

I have a few concerns and questions, thanks for sharing your experience with the spray.

Newbie question: If you spray water into the engine compartment doesn't it risk damage something it there? I always want to keep the engine looking new but afraid if I wash it I'll damage something.

Hi Scott, might this spray product be an effective alternative for a rim cleaner? I’m thinking for quick spray and washes before I enter my touch less car wash. Thanks & stay safe out there.

Thank you for sharing the use of a O'Reilly's Auto Parts Store Product. During the past fifteen-(15) years, I periodically spray rinsed my engine with a standard garden hose spray nozzle and I do my best to avoid sensitive areas. You pressure washed your truck's engine, so how did the engine take the cleaning agent and water pressure? Thank you

Have you tried dawn heavy duty degreaser for cleaning engines? I just spray it on from the pump spray bottle and lightly agitate with a chip brush. Even takes ground in dirt out of the under-hood paint wo staining it. Works on carpeting stains and rubber and vinyl too. No smell or fumes. Rinses clean.

Wow awesome!!! Not anywhere else can I watch a dude spray an engine with a pressure washer for 4 minutes, holy crap!!!!! Quality content::will watch again;;;; 4.3 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐

Did it end up messing up the engine or car in any way? I like how u can just spray on and not cover anything

I have a question. Have you ever thought of trying ultra one as a degreaser for cars or engine bay?

I love how you say it’s my work truck who cares, will it damage the engine who knows

Engine already looked fairly clean. I don't trust this review.

I have an 09 charger and there are some electrical connectors that you can't get to. How can I clean the engine w/o getting the electrical connectors wet? Awesome video. Thanks so much.

I use engine cleaner after every oil change, gunk foamy and the O'Reilly's brand as well both work great and the engine bay on my Silverado looks new every time all the time

I couldn't stop thinking of Peter Griffin hearing this man talk

Thanks for the video. I just used this product on my 2012 Pilot. It worked very well on the moderate areas like in the video. The heavier caked areas needed a second application after I let the bay dry thoroughly first. On an other note, is it me, or can this guy sit in for Howard Stern as a voice over so Howard could take a day off? Great job!

I appreciate your upload and honest review. I will try this 👍Seems promising.

Just subscribed as I've watched a few of your great videos. I've seen some other videos using Armor All tire foam cleaner and protectant. Have you ever tried that or will in a future video?

Excellent job once again Scott! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us👍

I wish you would have turned the ignition to show that it would still start after it's bath.

Do i have to remove the battery or do cover the radiator, i have a hyndai tucson 2018. I like your video. Have a good weekend.

Great review. Thank you.

I remember when I first tried this out. My neighbor was yelling at me saying Get the F**K away from my car!

Great review Howard Stern!

I use this every 6 months on my truck! Especially after the winter months!

Thanks for sharing...but most people don't have light-modeate dirty engines....usully more soiled....what wud u recommend for heavily soiled engines

The first time I tried this, many years ago. I went to car wash an used some kind of degreaser stuff. Any ways I spent about $5 to wash the trucks engine. It looked pretty clean, but it would Not start. I had soaked the distributor. Had to pull the cap off an dry it out. An after a few hours on a Hot summers day I got it to start. Sucks being broke down at the car wash.

I was under the impression that you could damage some wires and connections when apply water on the engine.

Thanks! Gonna try this!

Do you have to protect the electronic swithes or sensors??

Are you concerned about stripping oil "naturally" on the engine parts from the factory? Wouldn't it make things more prone to rust or corrosion?

I’m showing this to Scotty Kilmer now what you did to your engine.

Do you have to cover anything in the the engine? Battery, starter?

So could you use the Worx gun with a foam cannon to apply car foam wash and eliminate the need for a power washer?

Make sure you unplug your harness connectors and power wash your electronics as well!! Also open and spray down the fuse box! 👍

I just came from a video that took 2 hours to clean an engine, protected all electrics and made sure not to wet many parts. This guy: High pressure everything, done!

If i just did Krown rust control a month ago, do I want a perfectly clean engine?

I did this to my 5.3 ... turned out nice and clean And a month later I was in the shop having my Knox sensors changed. The water destroyed them .... from now on I will just wipe it down. No more pressure wash for me !

Thanks for the demonstration. Now, to be fair to the O'Reilly product, you should do another cleaning where you actually follow the instructions of waiting 15 minutes and agitating to give a more thorough and complete review of that product. Otherwise, I'd suggest you don't give any grade because the full instructions weren't followed. It's like putting de-clogging liquid into your sink drain pipe and flushing it with cold water only after a few minutes (instead of 10 minutes and hot water) then commenting that the water is draining slowly because the clog hasn't cleared up.

I've watched this video for 6 months now and I'm still having trouble figuring out if this is Howard Stern or Ray Romano...

Any problems with all the electronic sensors getting wet with your sprayer?

I was surprised about spraying presser washer, just thought sparkplugs and alternator. Kinda hoped he dryed it to start the engine afterwards.

*reads first few lines of instructions* then proceeds to not follow them.....

let sit for 15 minutes.. ahh 1 will prob be just fine.. if you are gonna review a product follow the directions

Wow...that is clean...I'm just afraid to short my electrical wires....hope I can drive on your area and show me the right way...thanks for the video man.

Hi scott what product can i use for tar residue that can i buy on autozone,pepboys or advance auto part? Thanks

I was always under the impression that you shouldn't use a pressure washer in the engine bay, no matter how low the pressure is but besides that I wouldn't recommend spraying too much water on an LS engine (Like this one) because the knock sensors are located in the engine valley beneath the intake manifold and water can seep in and sit in there and rust out your knock sensors

That looked like 3 minutes working time, not 15 minutes. It's a good idea to let solvents work and loosen as much material as they can. A clean surface will shed product and suspended grime easier than a surface that still has a layer of grease. I've used many different engine cleaners and never needed to use more than low pressure hose end water for rinsing.

Do you have to cover anything on the engine when you put this stuff on it I have a 4.3 In a 2001 Chevy S10 pickup please comment back thank you

One thing I wonder! Does not that water jet harm the old and brittle electrical wires? Is it ok to detail any car engines i,e.hybrid engine.

What happened to the 15 minuets of wait time ??

Get ready for the “check engine” light to come on.

Great video. Who makes that sprayer hooked to the water hose?

Do you guys clean engines at your shop? I need mines clean and I'm in the DFW area

Scott... Like your videos, However this product is to harsh for the engine.. It stinks, Leaves oily puddles, and typically no good for electrical components as well. I ALWAYS use a bag to cover up the alternator. I personally use Tire FOAM. It CLEANS and PROTECTS. Engine looks fantastic 9 to 10 weeks down the road. I didn't have much faith in it till i tried it. YES it works. Just break down the dirt with a mild cleaner, then TIRE FOAM. Engine looks like it just left the factory. Id like to see you do a video on this as well.. Keep them video's coming. Your doing great work out there.

Any degreaser you use you must always cover the alternator or will have to change your alternator bearings in a couple of weeks.

Do you do this on your driveway? What's the dripping like? On grass? Stain?

So. I have a 1982 Chevy S10 that's been sitting probably 7 years now and I'm about to get it back to running . What's the best way to clean the engine bay ??? It's pretty bad under there..

I wonder how it works on a dirty engine?

RIP Alternator and electronics, you need to cover that shit before using high pressure water.

what can i use on the plastic parts to make it look nice and shiny. i clean my engine but now the plastic part looks dry so what can i use to make it shine and look good. i use the meguiars trim restore in the spray can and i didn't like it so what am i doing wrong and what should i use

Did not cover the alternator before spraying the foamy degreaser?

“SID! You weren’t supposed to spray the foam on the Iceberg!”

Purple degreaser works just as good too!. You should of rinse it first get that dirt loose and wet.then spray the degreaser.

Looks like it would be a good motorcycle cleaner too. Cut and carry the oil and grease, but warm mildly soapy water to rinse away maybe. Thanks Ray.

Is this stuff better than the GUNK Foamy Engine Degreaser, or is it the same sort of thing?

That alternator probably screaming for help 😱 with all that water spraying on it with no protection cover.

How did you spray so freely without worry of shorting anything out!? I want to clean my engine bay bad but I'm afraid of ruining anything.

I have been really wanting to clean my engine bay but want to know exactly what I need to cover/ protect when doing so.

Bro I just cleaned my engine bay and I cover all the wiring connector.. but after cleaning it and wiping it down, I saw a little bit of smoke coming to the engine. That’s why I turned it off right away. Is it normal???

Fix leaks so it doesn't get greasy.

Never do this to a vortec engine engine. Knock sensors can be ruined and they are a bitch to change. They are under the intake manifold

Can this be put on the battery also or do you need to disconnect it ?

You have excellent hearing, @3:42 you can hear it penetrating the grease wow. It couldn't be just the bubbles foaming and popping. You can tell the difference between the grease bubbles and the other bubbles that's amazing.

"Am I ruining my engine who knows?" haha lol
