nice and clean good job

 

Thank you. I wonder how long it'll stay clean, though. It's raining now in Richardson, TX...my clean car...noooo.

 

thats what im saying just go to a car wash or sumthing and cover up filter etc... but be sure to wash under the hood too!!! i use to know a guy in florida with a tt supra who didnt and took it to a show and under his hood was dirty....alot of people laughed at him so he closed his hood! lol

 

How about brake fluid? Brake & clutch fluid reservoirs have vents, & you don't want to get water in there. When I clean mine, I also watch out for that.

 

Can someone please make a list of things to watch out for before washing your engine?

Intake
Distributor
Alternator

What else?

I'll be cleaning my engine pretty soon, it's got loads of dirt on it

 

I don't even know where the distributor and alternator are. Should you also wrap up the blue wires that are on top of the valve cover gasket(if that's the name)? And where is the ABS system?

 

i never cover sh!t under my hood, except the air filter, and i use Gunk spray sh!t, then hose it off, and spray tire shine all over the place. car runs fine. been doin it that way for 2 yrs.

 

Ah! overcoming the fear to do stuff like this is so hard sometimes

 

The blue wires are the spark plug wires. I didn't bother wrapping them up because they are already insulated. I did wrap up the distributor though, which is to the left of the valve cover.

The ABS system is in the right side of the car next to the header. It has all those coils inside of it and I thought that I should wrap that up since it seemed like it the coils were exposed and I didn't want to get water inside.

 

Where are the vents for the brake fluid? I would like to know so that I cover that up in the future. I basically covered up anything electrical that was exposed and the intake.
