So what do I need to know? My engine bay is really dirty. It probably hasnt been cleaned ever so its all caked on good
 .Pressure wash it? I heard you should spray some grease cleaner on then pressure wash it off? What should I cover up?

Cover up the distributor and your air filter if you have an intake because water will fuck up those things.

get some engine bay cleaner from ct, it comes in a 2 pack...you dont have to touch your engine and it eats through all the grime. It worked wonders on mine, looks brand new

I just take mine to the car wash and pressure wash it there. I don't cover up anything, except now I gotta cover up the dizzy cap cause its got some cracks in it and causes my car to studder. Need to get that fixed.

i'd just take it to the detaling shop. Its gonna cost ya but they do a good job depending on who. I clean my engine bay with that green stuff. Forgot what its called but thats what i used. I did it during the swap. It was easier of course .
