Car peeps, how/do you wash your engine?

Straight answer on the original topic: If it's just dust, try using a compressor with blow gun to blow leaves and dust off, then just use Windex and rags to clean it up. But if the engine bay is greasy/oily, you can warm it up NOT HOT; just warm to the touch. If you can't touch the engine block, it's too hot to spray the degreaser on, and might crack if you have an aluminum head or engine. Use plenty; 2 or 3 cans, of engine cleaner, let it soak about 20 minutes, and then pressure wash it IF YOU TAKE CARE to cap the air intake, and cover any and all electronic control boxes, etc. As soon as you finish, uncap the air intake and uncover anything you covered, and drive the car right away on the highway fast, in order to dry it all out, and use the air conditioner (in case you got water in the compressor clutch, this will dry it out and prevent problems there). It's normal to smell something like jet fuel inside the car for a few days after. You don't have to disconnect the battery.

And just use common sense.
