after cleaning the hood underside and the surrounding areas of the engine bay, it's time to clean the actual engine. carefully remove the wet plastic cover from the engine to begin. grab the cleaning wipes to remove any excess dirt, sludge, and oil stains from the valve covers and the surrounding areas. you may need more cleaning wipes than usual when dealing with an extremely dirty or neglected engine bay. the idea is to rid all areas of thicker sludge and grime.
thankfully, it’s often just the gasket that needs to be replaced and not the valve cover. however, if this part also needs to be replaced, it can be done with minimal effort at the same time you swap out the gasket, since both parts are removed at the same time. the only additional charge would be for the valve cover itself.
using diesel fuel in a gasoline vehicle is definitely possible, but it won't make your engine run any better. in fact, it will usually clog up your filters and might even damage the pump on your car or truck. diesel engines need diesel fuel to operate at peak efficiency; if there's no filter separating the two types of fuels, then you'll end up with some major problems that can cost a lot of money to fix. using the right fuel is especially important if you own a diesel vehicle that has an emission system- using the wrong kind of fuel might cause damage to the engine that will lead to it being unable to pass inspection.
buy a can of aerosol rust penetrant and a can of spray white lithium grease. start by soaking the latch mechanism with the rust penetrant. if you can’t open the hood at all, slide the spray straw into the grille and aim it up toward the latch. then shoot about a half can of lube onto the latch. let it soak for an hour. if it opens after that, move on to the next step. if not, repeat the procedure. once the hood opens, soak the hood latch mechanism with white lithium grease. then close and open the hood multiple times until the latch works smoothly. apply fresh grease every year before winter.
