how do you clean the engine bay?
#2
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](https://www.mazda3club.com/images/smilies/crying.gif)
You can use Simple Green, too...just make sure you rinse it well. It eats aluminum.

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.
It ran like *** and I thought I killed the motor
, 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.
After that I decided not to attempt that on an older engine again.
