Re: cleaning out the engine

1. Spray lots of Simple Green (http://www.simplegreen.com/ )everywhere.
2. Use a brush to loosen up heavy soiled area.
3. Spray water everywhere with a garden hose.
4. Wipe off excess water with a towel.
5. Start the car and let it idle for 15 mins with the hood open.

Repeat as needed. Then it will look like this.

FYI, I clean my engine bay once every 3 weeks.

Also make sure you do not wet your intake or battery.
