Whats the best way to clean/degrease the motor?
Can it be hosed down?
If you go to a car wash you can use the engine/tyre cleaner before hand and then wash it off with a high pressure hose. Just make sure you cover up your pod filter, and alternater before hosing with anything. And if you do hose, make sure you don't soak one place for too long just in case you flood something important. Comes up mickeymouse when it's done! Good luck!
nice post shu, thats what i do. you can also use engine degreaser and just go for gold, you can also use this engine foam cleaner im not sure what its called but i got it from supercheap, spray it everywhere then hose it down. then drive it for 30minz so the water evaporates
suprisingly that cheap engine foam stuff worked really well
i used it on my EG, covered the engine bay in it, left it for 10min, than hosed it off with garden hose
make sure u take ur pod off or cover it up, and avoid getting electrical things like the battery too wet
also dont do it on ur parents front lawn as it will kill the grass lol =p
I would cover up the distributor before I cover up the battery or alternator.
+1 to bau since he made the most important post.
COVER THE DIZZY!
you don't want water in there...
can get cheap ass degreeser in cans from supercheap auto's for $1.99 a can. Use 2-3 cans which is more than enough. Put it on whilst the engine is warm and leave for 10 minutes and then wash it off with a host. As others have said, cover up your filter with a plastic bag, also your battery and other electrical setups. I don't cover the distributor when ive done it but upto you.
altho i know others have had issues on other cars but my honda'z never had issue with the dizzy and water.
lol remember to take the plastic bag off the pod if you covered it before turning the car on lolz :)
