Washing your engine

[harrison]

I learned recently that if you want to detail/wash your engine, it should be idling before,during and after, the pressure wash/hosedown. High volumes of air blast really helps get rid of the excess water. I hope this helps some of you that would like their engine bay pristine again. I learned this by watching Mike.

Where does the water go once its in there, there's an alluminium sheet across the entire bottom isn't there?

[harrison]

The water DOES get out. There are several flat plastic panels and water can escape easily.There is a service bullitin regarding drilling a hole in one of the panels. And this drilling is OPTIONAL.

Glad thats cleared up i'd of been thinking the engine was going to drown in the rain
