Re: Re: cleaning an engine
Go to your local car shop and pick up a bottle of Simple Green... it comes in a concentrated spray. Now rent a pressure washer. Wrap the dizzy with a plastic bag (not essential, just a precaution.. I don't cover mine anymore), saturate engine with FULLY CONCENTRATED Simple Green. Don't water it down. Let it sit until it's dry. Saturate again. Spray with pressure washer until all the SG is off (as in it doesn't bubble/foam anymore). Repeat the process until it's all shiny and pretty!

Re: cleaning an engine
If you have a pod filter, cover it too.
