I Got Sand In My Engine!!!

Sup everyone today i went to the beach and drove on the sand & i stopped b/c my friend stopped in front of me. Next thing you kno my car sinks in the sand as i try to flore it.. i reved and reved and she was still stuck then i put it in reverse and flored it.. finally my friends push my car out and when i popped my hood there was a shiet load of sand everywhere!! what can i do to clean this mess?!?!?

Try powerwashing the motor at a place where you can wash your car with a high pressure hose. Make sure you cover up the important things(ie: air filter, alternator, distributor..etc) You get the idea. That should clean everything up. Did the sand actually get sucked into the motor itself?? I hope not or "bye-bye" to your motor.:(

i don't think so, as soon as i got the car out of the sand i poped my hood and took out the intake filter dusted it off and checked inside the tube n there was no sign of sand in there.. what kind of symptoms should i be lookin for if sand did happen to get in the engine?

trust me you'll know

It's just like puttin sugar in the gas tank....the car wont run very well....Ahhhh...the good old days.:D J/J :p

hahah good old dayz ay?:D n e way today i went to the car wash like u said and washed out my engine.. i covered the battery, intake, distrubutor but cover up the alternater. most of the sand went away but some are still left. is there another method i can use to like clean up my engine to make it look spankin new?/

Know anyone with an air compressor??
Get an airhose and blow that shiznit out of the remaining areas.
