spect2k Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Well I'm impressed! Now, this is not harmful in any way to any of the engine parts? Like getting in on the intercooler? Or causing hoses to wear prematurely down the road? Nothing like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBSERVATION: this stuff will keep parts clean and grease free. its got nonstick properties like teflon or pam or something. i tried using some HVAC foil tape to patch things up temporarily (dont ask) and Nothing would stick to the plastic treated with this stuff obedience to church and state is subjugation to the unjust authority of men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well I'm impressed! Now, this is not harmful in any way to any of the engine parts? Like getting in on the intercooler? Or causing hoses to wear prematurely down the road? Nothing like that? I sold my '99 Accord in Feb of '07. I had a mechanic check it over before I sold it to make sure everything was in order. I never once changed a belt on that car and he said they all looked brand new. They weren't even cracking on the edges like belts do after a couple years of wear. They looked like they were just replaced yesterday. I've been using CD2 on that engine at least every other month since I bought it new. I can definitely say that if it were to have any adverse results on hoses and belts then I would have seen it on that car. As far as getting it on the intercooler, you shouldn't really be spraying it up there anyway. This is for plastics and rubber and not aluminum. It isn't going to hurt it, but you don't need to be wasting it on areas that won't benefit from it. If you leave the engine cover on while spraying it I would just say to go around the intercooler and not over it. The only real parts to avoid are the electrical connections and the alternator. Exposed air filters are to be avoided too if you have any of those. I think I posted a picture somewhere of LGT areas to avoid... _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

OCDetails Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Sweet! You should have done this prior to yesterday. That best engine award was only for lack of other contestants. It really wasn't that impressive to be honest, but it was the cleanest of the bunch. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

DocHolladay23 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I know! Next time maybe, I also took that cone off and fabbed up my custom intake. Thanks by the way for the judgement, I'm glad my hours of washing, claying, and waxing wasn't for nothing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!!

OCDetails Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 No problemo. No favortism whatsoever for the Legacy either. It simply was the best paint in the show. A car that lives in a garage and only sees the sun when it is in a show should be flawless and not swirled up like the cars that came out. A daily driver the shows up swirl free is an impressive beast. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

RaGe Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 you know. I have went to the parts stores around here and even asked for it specifically. and they look at me like i am stupid. OTM.

jonklein611 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 that will happen. I had the guys @ autozone tell me for a second that the black magic stuff is the same stuff (it's not). And then the one guy was jealous cause he uses it and I found a few cans in the back. DocHolladay23 did you use engine degreaser 1st? My intake header thingys (i'm being very technical today) are dirty as crap.... not sure what the best way to get em clean would be (with the plugs right there and such) anyone got any tips for that?

Claw Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Anyone know where I can get some of this stuff in Canada? Specifically, Edmonton, AB? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 No engine degreaser for me, just opened the hood, sprayed everything down (avoiding the alternator and plugs etc..), and let it sit for 20 mins. Can't wait to see how long it lasts. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ah, mine's got a ton of oil / sand / junk on the headers..... I'm wonder how to clean around the plug area...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 looks good. Reminds me that I haven't opened my hood in a while.. cept to change my oil a few weeks ago, and even then I only focused on the dipstick, the oil neck and the underside.

OCDetails Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Do you have an AutoZone? If so then that is where I would look. If you don't, then you probably won't have much success locating it. AutoZone seems to be the place to shop for it if you are in the states. I've seen empty spots on shelves of Checker as well, but I'm don't believe that chain goes very far east of the Mississippi. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
