Engine bay cleanup...
#14
I use a 60 degree tip on a pressure washer after applying a light degreaser. I cover the alternator. An advantage of the pressure washer is you can control the spray fairly well. I don't spray the PCM but have sprayed the fuse box and air cleaner mounting box. Never had a problem and did this probably 50 times. The only time I had a problem is when I went to a self-serve car wash. Those things put out too much water.

Haha no thankfully my engine bay is not as dirty as I made it seem. I was just curious because as I overlooked the manual I noticed the 3 main areas that they recommend should be covered for cleaning the engine. So I was just curious if it was really necessary since it already comes covered. Thanks for the tips though I'll keep that in mind when I wash my engine bay this weekend.

I cleaned mine today. No issues. Cleaned and dressed everything. Looks better than new. Didn't even cover the alternator; I just avoided spraying water in that area. I did mop up the water in the plug wells when I was done rinsing. Started right up and ran fine. No issues, Just be prudent with the water spray. I used the fan jet setting on my garden hose.
