I want to clean my engine bay because its soooo dirty.
My brother has cleaned his 3.8 many times before. He says to leave the engine off, and clean when its cold. He says a hot engine + cold water = damage (block cracking....seems like common sense)
I have a 3.4 though, and it has a distributor, not coil packs. Do I have to cover up my distributor with a plastic bag or something? He doesn't cover anything on his 3.8.
Also, I did a search, and some people say clean it when the engine is RUNNING, or when the engine is hot. I don't know which to do! My brother has been fine cleaning it his way, should I do the same?
Also, I have an oil leak in my passenger side valve cover...is there any chance that water could squeeze its way through during the rinsing process?
Thanks in advance [img]smile.gif[/img]
