Aloha!
 I need to degrease my engine soon. I brought a can of Johnsen engine degreaser. My engine is a 5S-FE, what needs to be covered from water protection? Mahalo!

Like the other guys said, make sure to cover all the ignition related wires and components and also it wouldn't hurt to cover the alternator if you decide to keep the engine off. I'd avoid using a pressure washer on the engine itself since it will force water through the valve gaskets and so forth (seen it happen to a friends car). It would be good to use those steam cleaners after degreasing as it helps break up all that debris on the head and block, if not then regular water and toothbrush will be just as good. BTW I use simple green as a degreaser cause it smells better
