Re: Cleaning the engine
Spray it down with simple green or even a simple degreaser, let it sit for a
couple minutes, then rinse with water (not a pressure sprayer).

Re: Cleaning the engine
That costs, if memory serves, about $3.75 to get the first
squirt... almost as bad as a hand job in the tenderloin.

Re: Cleaning the engine
That is my school of thought.
I regularly hose down my engines. I wait until they are cold though.
I even took a pressure washer to the CJ once not long ago. I stay away
from direct hits on connection plugs, but still wash them good.
I also opened every plug and socket I could get my hands on and put a
rub of dielectric grease on all the sealing parts. (spark plug boot
protector is a cheap version)
Works well, I can run my CJ7 with a bow wave over the hood and a wet
butt and still keep on going....

Leave the grit on. Sometimes it the only thing keeping the engine's
blood(oil) in.
