Ive been told to powerwash my engine in order to clean it up so i can locate an oil leak.
so does anyone know the proper procedures to do so? Just to make sure i dont damage anything electrical i would have to assume you have to keep something dry... --------------------  The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? |
