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? |

If by power washing you mean using a pressure washer, be careful around all the plastic clips for electrical plugs. the plastic will be very brittle because of years of putting up with the engine heat, alot of mine break off in my hand, so I wouldn't want to imagine what water at 2000psi would do to them.
IMO you'd be better off with a strong degreaser, maybe a sponge to scrub around and just a normal hose. This post has been edited by samir0189: Mar 27, 2009 - 4:40 PM -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
