Normally when I get a Hot Rod, I buy a can of engine degreaser and wash everything down with the engine running with the waterhose afterward. Seeing all the sensors, relays and solenoids all over the engine compartment, that technique would be just asking for several shorts and ruined sensors. Anyone have any tips here?
Obviously I could take everything off and clean one piece at a time, also the most thorough method. But I was thinking more along the lines of covering whatever needed to be covered and use my earlier mentioned method, any thoughts? What needs to be covered? What doesn't?
Car had a valve cover leak I fixed, steering fluid leak fixed and a rear main seal leak. Little messy under the hood. I am not looking for car show quality here just get it clean enough to work on, without getting too dirty. Thanks in advance.
