speaking of this.. are you allowed to actually spray off your engine or how do you go about cleaning it? i know you're not allowed to get wires wet etc but that pretty much means you cant wash off your engine cause they're all over1994 3.4L Dark Green Camaro - Tan Cloth Interior<br />Mods - Flowmaster, High Flow Cat, K&N Filter, Window Tint, Premium Sound system (2 subs custom box, New 99 Z28 style Rims/Tires, New Clutch<br /> More to come!

I just dont spray the battery, or any of the wires near it and the PCM. I spray lightly around the top of the engine bay, and really blast the front of the engine to shoot all of that grim off.
Ive never had any problems. Just make sure your engine is cool. Cold water + hot intake manifold = disaster
You can also buy some really good engine cleaner foam at OReilly.<a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/adamon6thstreet\" target=\"_blank\">1996 Firechicken</a><br /><b>15.19@91.61</b><br /><i>It Rocks Your Panties</i><p>Daily Driver: <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/pimpnon6thstreet\" target=\"_blank\">1990 Pontiac Trans Sport SE</a><br />Most recent mod: Mounted an Evan on the dashboard.
