bmxbang · 12-11-2005, 06:45 PM

dang GiveMeBreak that engine looks like new what did ya use on it ?

GiveMeBreak · 12-13-2005, 07:49 PM

Orange Blast by Grease Lightning. If you have heavy deposits..start with GUNK Heavy Duty Engine Brite.

A few types of scrub brushes.

Follow up with Armor All Tire Foam.

Darkfoxx · 12-14-2005, 08:20 PM

Thats the same engine i have....and i been told it was a Vortec because of the black box that has the words 2.2L
S.F.I.
Is it safe to remove that and put a cold air intake on it and how would i do it?

dagreenmonster · 12-20-2005, 10:15 PM

ive always used straight up Armour All...wipe down everything and it looks awesome

Scrat · 12-20-2005, 10:17 PM

yeah i didn't think they were aswell until i did some research on the motor, also i think its stated in the owners manual.

TokoDragon · 06-17-2006, 03:05 AM

Yeah, the manuel only calls it the 2200 Vortec, then the 4300 vortec, and I think the v8 is the 5400 vortec. Pretty simple, just take what ever liter it is, take the decimal out, add 00 to it. Then there's the 2200 Ecotech.

I use vinyl/tire/plastic armor all on my engine bay, looks very clean, but not all shiney/greesed looking like some of the ones here, but how do you gys clean the top cloth? Attatched to the bottom side of the hood.

when I bought my truck I was surprised out how clean it was under the hood, seeing the outside paint was beat to hell, and the seats were full of cigerette burns, all I did to keep it clean months later is just sprayed it with armor all then took a dry cloth and started wiping the armor all off.http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...geQuality=Full

This is a pic of when I first bought it, pretty clean, don't mind the wording, this was a pic I sent to my brother to show him my new truck. And YEAH, compared to my '85 Astro van this 2.2L can get up and go.

twelvam · 06-17-2006, 03:54 AM

i use wd-40 on mine after every wash, then wipe it down and spray armor all on it.

ryepsboe · 06-26-2006, 10:34 PM

did you guys replace the tubing around your elec. wires that there diferent colors (like i think the yellow looks sharp) or is that a extreme option?
