[Scar13]

I cant seem to find that old article we had up about cleaning the engine.

Out sid e of the obvious Cover the altenator spray down with degreaser and spray clean when the engine is cool or cold.

I don't remember a article but of there was one it probably just said to not use high pressure and cover up the electrical connections to the sensors. I use simple green, small brush and a low pressure garden hose. STAY AWAY from the IDM and other sensors including all the connections..

Scar.. What Crumm sez.

Just did mine yesterday. COLD MOTOR. Covered and did what Crumm said, 50/50 mix of Simple Green, sprayed everything down REAL good (75/25 strength SG on the grungy areas) let it set for 5/10 minutes... hosed it off with >house pressure< at about half throttle for most of it... little more >house pressure< for the grungy areas.

FWIW ? I slit garbage bags and mask off the whole engine compartment. That way, when the crap starts flying.. it does'nt get on the windshield, fenders or grill area.

What Tx Atty sez too ! I use a parts brush... on a stick for the hard to get places.

if you are meticulous, a toothbrush comes in very handy.

also you folks using SG ensure its rinsed completely off and rinse again. sg as it dries changes somewhat and will eat holes in your alum stuff by removing the hydrogen molecules and it will become very brittle and BREAK

It Don't.... But just by the nature of anything DEZEL... It will. I don't let it.

And remember... Out here in Caly... There's GRUNG... in the Air.

CALIFORNIA: Where you can See, Smell and Taste the Air you breath

Yer right about the SG.... Prolly should have said: Rinse it WELL, with >house pressure<.
