Now that school is done and the weather is nice I'm planning on working on cleaning up my engine bay. Can anyone recommend what I should use to clean it up? Also, what precautions should I take to make sure I dont get water on anything that shouldnt get wet?

what i do is, i go to kragen and get one of those cans of engine degreaser spray (looks like brake cleaner)..
I warm up my engine. let the engine cool down a bit.. and spray that stuff on places where there is alot of grease and dirty built up.. let it sit for 5 mins.. then use a pressure washer on the engine. things to keep away from fues box. distributor. alternator. fuel injector.. pretty much anything electrical. while i am at it i wash the undercarrage of my car.  then i let the heat of the engine dry the water.. after 30mins i can drive the car agian.. I've done this many times and nothing has broke yet.. |
