    Purple Power is where is it at! That's what I recommend for greasy cleaning too. I use full strength, though; and I also tried that Walmart bottle too, but had to upgrade to the $2 Home Depot version because the Purple Power would cut out the grease of the pumping mechanism of the bottle and it would seize up; on the Walmart bottle, the return spring is not strong enough to reset the trigger with a grease cutter as lubrication (extra frustrating).

    • @Patrick.Weightman
      @Patrick.Weightman 2 роки тому +2

      Be careful with purple power. It's great stuff but if it's too strong it'll bubble your paint in a hurry. Even they recommend to keep it away from automotives.

    Be careful with purple power. It's great stuff but if it's too strong it'll bubble your paint in a hurry. It also isn't too friendly to aluminum and tends to varnish it, especially anodizing

    Hello friend, I have always scare to clean my 4runner 1999 engine bay as it become very dirty. After watching I still not confident to do so. Can you assure me?

    • @PhoRunner
      @PhoRunner  3 роки тому +1

      It’s an off road vehicle so it’ll see water. Don’t force any water into spots and you’ll be fine. Take it for a drive to warm it up. But do so at your own risk. I do it on all my vehicles and never had issues

  • @marcuswalton5168
    @marcuswalton5168 3 роки тому +2

    Would you recommend this if there is a good amount of leaked oil build up on the exhaust manifold? Definitely want to clean my 02 4Runner engine bay up a bit, but curious if the leaked oil from gasket valves would be an issue!

    • @PhoRunner
      @PhoRunner  3 роки тому +1

      It’ll be fine. That oil will just burn when it leaks on the exhaust. Just don’t spray directly in the valve cover but it’s probably a small leak and won’t be an issue

    No. My engine is dead now. Water had gotten into my spark plugs. Thanks to Scott Kilmer advice I saved my car. Had to replace spark plugs after spraying a whole can of WD-40 and letting it sit over night.

      Sounds like you got some bad spark plug wires not sealing them properly.

    I really like your videos, except this one. I would never do this to my 2002 4runner that I bought new in late 2001. Do I care if my engine looks nice? No. Would cleaning it make it function better? No. Could it screw things up? Yes.
    Having said that, I don't work on the truck myself, and even though it's a 4WD I almost never go off road.

    • @PhoRunner
      @PhoRunner  3 роки тому +2

      No worries, that’s why I gave a lot of precautions. I just don’t personally take them since the 4runner lives in the wild usually.

  • @deniseandmarkfirestine7443

    yeah, hosing down the engine bay? no thanks. at least run the engine to let it dry out. don't let the plastic & rubber get UV damage.
