Detailing - Engine bayView Full Version : Engine bay Street Sniper 06-20-2005, 07:51 PM How do you guys clean your motor? My distributor (before I changed it) was leaking oil so I have oil all over the block and tranny. I am pretty sure you cant just open the hood and go to town with a power washer (or can you?) Degreaser? Let me know because it's pretty gnarly in there. Not that I have a show car or anything but, you know how it is. ngoti 8tor 06-20-2005, 08:31 PM Just buy some engine degreaser and then let it soak for about 20 minutes. Try to stay away from rubber and plastic parts as much as possible. If you have a short ram filter, just put a plastic bag over the filter to keep it safe from the degreaser and dirt that you clean off. Then spray it off with a power washer or in a car wash. sacicons 06-20-2005, 11:14 PM cover the distributor and as much electrical stuff as you can too.
