how do you clean the engine bay?
 

how do you clean the engine bay? i mean the outside of the engine/ engine parts ... ?!

thanks!

I use Castrol Super Clean. Got to be careful. It is pretty strong, so I dilute it 3 parts Super Clean 1 part water. I use it full strenght in places were there is a lot of grease bulid up. Make sure you don't get it on the exterior paint.

Put a towel on the plug boots before you start...water in those plug holes will ruin your day... :crying:

You can use Simple Green, too...just make sure you rinse it well. It eats aluminum. :eek:

My bad experience with engine cleaning
 

I tried doing that this summer, since I'd done it with no problems on other cars when I was working as a lot attendendant. But even after working hard to make sure everything was covered I still got water down in the plug holes.:doh: It ran like ass and I thought I killed the motor:crying:, but I figured out what was wrong and ended up sucking the water out with a straw attached to an old tukey baster I found in the garage. :o After that I decided not to attempt that on an older engine again.

Simple green, elbow grease and a hose.
