Engine Cleaning
I was out cleaning my engine and when I turned it back on to dry it off it gave off this big squeel when I reved it. Any idea what this was / if it was harmful? seemed to run fine, just parked it back on the driveway, but seemed ok...

Re: Engine Cleaning
No, you're OK, long as it goes away once dry.

I was thinking about cleaning my 96 accords engine. Other tha the battery, alternator and the air intake is there anything else that need to be covered when you do this? How do you feel about engine dressings and do you know of any parts stores that carry them. Autozone and advanced autoparts do not.
Thanks

Re: Engine Cleaning
You don't really need to cover anything. I never do. Never had problems. You won't hurt the battery, the alternator will be fine as long as you don't blast straight into it, and I usually hit the plug wires, distributor cap, coil and relay center with WD-40 before spraying, that repels water long enough to keep it outta there.
Not sure about the engine dressing, never used it. Have shot the hoses and wiring w/Armourall, but it makes the rubber brown and brittle after exposure to heat for long periods of time. I just leave it natural now. If you are really paranoid, spray a little WD-40 inside the distributor cap also, water will not get in there.
